So I traded away the '67 with the doors, and fixed the '66 B&W. But I still haven't done anything with the french provincial 67 and the 70. I decided to leave the 67 (with it's bad cataracts) until I found a crt for it.

I messed around with the 70 today. I could just barely make out that there was a dim picture, the crt was nearly dead. I didn't even move the needle on the B&K 465. It barely moved on the red gun when I turned it up to 8V, not on the blue or green at all. So I tried rejuvenating it. The red gun seemed to respond on the 'lo' setting, but the blue and green didn't, so I did the blue and green on the 'hi' setting. When I turned it back on I had a bright picture (just a blank raster, no sound - something must be wrong with the tuner or IFs). But only for a few minutes, then I hear some arcing in the neck of the crt, and the screen goes dark, it's gone...

Well, now I need two of these CRTs. Neither set has the original CRT, the 70 even has a later model 23V tube in there.
