I believe it was you and Nick who woke the CRT on my porthole. It was stone dead at the beginning but it eventually showed life. It is still weak without a brightener, but it is MUCH better than having a dud tube.

Here is a picture of it running two years back.

Haven't gotten around to running it since then. I haven't really done much with it since I'm on the fence about recapping it.
Most of my major projects have been on hold as I have so many little fix and sell/ fix to put away radios and such it has been hard to get bench space for the bigger stuff, but once that is done and I purge some things that are cluttering up my basement I can get to big stuff like my CTC4.
