Thanks, that makes sense since it sure does appear to be the original. Must be a low hour set to test so strong.

The last time the set was used, was probably in the mid 50's, before CRT rejuvenators became popular. When the picture got too dark, the technician just installed a brightener. Even rebuilts weren't readily available.

I wonder if brighteners ever got installed in an attempt to reduce retrace lines? Or if it was the isolation type it's possible there was heater to cathode leakage that's since cleared itself.
