CRT Rebuilding Video

That's right 2.35V. Thank you.

Just want to put this thread up at the top of the list again. I have not spoken with Nick in a couple of months but my last communication was he's waiting for guns to begin rebuild trials. My guess is we're going to need to inventory what's available at a level of detail where a plan can be developed to start practicing. When I email Nick, I'll ask him what are the possibilities of practice rebuilds on sacrificial tubes as a lack of guns shouldn't prevent him from building his skills and confidence.

Does he have enough practice tubes? I'm planning on meeting up with him, hopefully later this year, and could carry along a dud or two if needed.

I don't know that status but I would think that would be fine. The more the better!

I have a dud 21EAP4 (who doesn't ) with an open filament that I'd be willing to donate if you guys need one, but I have a feeling there's probably more than a few kicking around! Let me know if you want it, I'll be traveling to the Television Museum on Oct 18th

Yeah me too. Paying the price for buying a Holiday with a like new 21EAP4. Even Bob A. couldn't believe I had one with the numbers it showed on my tester and and the picture it had in service. It was an amazing get.

I'm lucky to never have had a dead 21" predicta tube ignoring a necked one in a parts tandem. I did have a dead 17"...of the 8 21" predicta tubes I've had in my hands 2 needed brighteners...one was a customer set, the other was in my GE Forecaster and I recently acquired a rough holiday that had a good 6V tube ...I swapped the brighter tube into the holiday and made it work and be somewhat presentable and sold it....The forecaster looks so much better with a strong CRT now
