If it shows good with a good life test or still good when tested at 5v or less on the heater, I'd leave it alone.

I agree. Retest it first before you make that decision.

Ohh I dont think, the TV dispensing its modern culture propaganda programming trash has disabled the 'think' function in my brain.
Besides, if I say 'I think' I start to sound like a politician.

I will say Dan does not restore/rejuvenate crts anymore. The risk of making it worse is to high. Deal with it.

ah ok ill just check it at 5 volts and take it from there dan, thanks all.

Start looking for a 25AP/XP22 to use as a replacement. We were able to squeeze a lot of them in place of the 23EGP without the need for a mounting kit. You'll need it sooner or later.

Good advise. I never saw a 23EGP22 that was worth a damn.

:sigh:................................

TIMMMMMMMMY......
Turn that frown upside down! There is no shortage of ap/gp/cp/xp22s. If you have the mechanical skills you can fit it in.

ok i do have the skills but i am not all that fond of this set anyway but as i write this i am about to check this crt at 5 volts so ill be back shortly with the news.

ok testing at 5 volts the blue and green is good but the red is alittle low otherwise everything tests really good. i did check for those whisker shorts and they were there but i burned them out. i then checked it at 6 volts and everything was like new.

Leave it alone and just watch it. More tvs will come your way. Before you know it you will have 50 of them. :banana:

well i dont know what the deal is here but i wonder if i had this set tuned wrong because i just retuned it and adjusted the color and damit the red lines or smear is gone. crazy tvs.......@#@$%$^&$#....

It sounds like you have the "gift". kinda like those dousers (water finders)

I have a set I'll trade ya for that. Its a 1972 Motorola Quasar TS938, 100% solid state WID REMOTE control, the CRT is a 25V... and is good. Love those 60's color Motorola sets, always looking but few sold in this area.

well i listed this motorola on the i think its called etc, early television classifieds for what i got it for and what i put in it.

Seems like a waste after all the time and energy you put into that thing. You should just keep it and deal with it.
