The CRT is good:
- The heaters lit normally, and drew normal current
- The neck didn't get any warmer than a typical color CRT neck
- Neither Dave nor I saw ANY glow whatsoever
- There is no discoloration of the cathodes or grids
- Multiple passes with three different tesla coils revealed no gas
- Cutoff on all three guns responded normally, though the pot needed to be in a different position for each gun
- And finally, the Sencore showed emissions results very similar to the Beltron
Dave was fairly confident when he left that the tube would produce a good picture; so am I.
Now to get the chassis to Nick...
