Instead of the usual round pins of older CRT's this one
probably uses spring contacts. Be sure they are not
cooked on both the CRT & socket end. This was very common
on older in line RCA CRT's especially when used in Admirals &
Maggies. Open filaments are VERY rare unless the CRT has
gone to air. In that case the neck will arc & light up blue
then probably go in to shut down.
