In BOTH conditions, my 5000 takes about 5-6 seconds to produce a visible raster and hits near full brightness in about 10-12 seconds.
I understand that Sony used a *Directly Heated* low power (180 mw?) cathode in these CRTs to achieve the rapid warm up.

From stone cold, and not plugged in the last 2 months, 07.31 Seconds to come completely to life. About 20 seconds to produce a normal picture with no pink.
06.78 Seconds plugged in for an hour, switch off to come back to life.
Timed it with my iPhone.
