I tested the jug and it took the blue a little while to come up, but it eventually woke up (the set probably has not been turned on in 30+ years). As far as delta-gun tubes from that era, Zenith tubes held up the best.

To make a long story short: the CRT was testing at %10-15 on my B&K 466 where most other color tubes that touch the bottom of the good range (which is %50) look worse and dimmer. To put it further into perspective the scale on the B&K is calibrated for color tubes where %85 of the guns output is blocked by the shadow mask... Monochrome tubes that don't have that limitation will typically act like a weak color tube when they get below %30....That Chromacolor tube was putting out a good picture at half to 1/3 of what an aluminized monochrome tube needs to look OK. Unbelievable! Zenith Chromacolor CRTs are good to the last drop.

Interesting thing is D - E ( & maybe C ) line SS flat chassii and
E & maybe F line CC2 AND 12, 16" Zenith Taiwan B&W hybrids were instant on. IMHO it shows instant on is not a bad thing when used on a SS set. It should NEVER be used on an all tube PCB built set, especially with compactrons ! I would always defeat it on those sets. Its as easy as snipping one end of a diode in most sets. We used to do it for a few bucks when a set came in if the customer wanted. Turned out to be an obscene profit center ! 73 Zeno LFOD ! |
