after
i bought i based what i saw on the first picture
when i got there, the seller had said that they had already started to try moving it, i also saw that the back was off.
this can only mean that THEY NECKED IT yesterday...
it was not broken up until then. careless error on the seller.
i confirmed this by placing the electron gun elements in water, the getter foamed up like crazy even this many hours later, meaning the metals it it had not oxidized yet meaning a fresh rupture.
should i scream an yell at the seller? demand money back? where will that get me?
bottom line I need a CRT now...
but they SHOULD have said something. because there is no way they could have known that they did not break it.
