I should look for a tube for my 303 and 305. They both have been going dim for the last couple years....especially the 303. I've had that 303 for like ten years now. Picture is okay as far as geometry, but has been going dim, and I have noticed an odd effect that makes faces look silver. Seems to be a contrast problem, but I'm not sure where that is coming from. I don't have a CRT checker, so have no idea what the state of the CRTs in both these sets are.

I would imagine that if the anode wasn't quite right, you would HEAR this...as an arc or maybe a hiss?
