Cataracts especially the green ones are easy to fix... certainly less hastle than recapping a Dumont, or refinishing a wood cabinet.

This is the only tv I've done the cataract procedure on, and it looks fantastic. What you describe is what I saw, it hadn't been on in a year or two and it came up very, very slow.
It does balance out well when it's warm, except red smears a bit because it's pinned all the way up. The Motorola chassis makes a wonderful clean picture, very little geometric distortion and great colour. Sounds good too.
I have an RCA tv which has a nos testing 25XP22 in it, which would likely look better with the motorola chassis than it does with the CTC38 it's in. Some day maybe will make the swap - that one does have an RCA style cataract needing repair still though.
