Cataract removal question

[Electronic M]

It is easy. Prep involves removing the CRT from the set and peeling off the tape over the glue....One tip, if you are careful not to damage the convergence board, it can be easier to leave the neck hardware on the tube....The CRT in the video was in a well adjusted watcher the day before...I left the neck hardware on and at the end was able to drop it back in the set with no new adjustments to it, and all was well.
Getting the glue off after removing the safety glass is the hard part....Sometimes. The previous tubes (a 60's Zenith 21FJP and a 1967 25AP out of an Admiral) were fairly easy, but the one in the video had a large extremely stubborn patch of glue in the center that took a lot of effort to clean off.

Personally I find Zenith tubes easier to remove the glass from since I don't have to wait for the glue to gradually let go a bit and keep re-tightening wedges (I tend to get impatient and crack the glass trying to speed it up) or spend months letting it soak like those RCA CRTs.....Speaking of which I need to do another RCA cat soon...I'm going to be occupied in the coming week or two so I'm hoping to set it in the drink in a couple of days and see how water works first hand.
