Yes it is. It's test good, with just a slightly weaker green gun.

I actually did some work on mine this weekend. I've had a nagging intermittent on the video output board that caused the luminance level to go way high. I was sure that it was the socket of the 12BY7, so I replaced it. That was not easy because the board is pretty well cooked so I had lots of problems with lifting traces, etc. And of course, that didn't solve the problem I took another stab at it yesterday, and under magnification, I found a bad solder joint on one end of a resistor that had gone previously undetected (I'd been over this board countless times). I still have a minor intermittent hue shift that I need to track down, but otherwise it's playing great. Long live Abingtons!
