Interesting 3KP4 video on YouTube
 

This guy shows how he converted a tester to check the 3KP4 CRT, check out his shop too!

Does anyone know this person?

Great video. I picture him sitting around the cracker barrel in a general store in Maine. He managed to get an amazing amount of equipment into that little attic workshop!

Unfortunately, his TV is still missing a good CRT. Good luck to him!

It's sad that when he & a bunch of the rest of old-timers get gone, look how much practical knowlege will go w/them..Little stuff that isn't in any book anywhere...

What a great video, and Sandy you are so correct. I am like a sponge around older people with great knowledge, I have always been that way, and is how I have learned to restore cars.

What is really sad is that it is not possible to have an open G1.
He either has a mechanical open outside of the tube or an open in his wiring or socket on that old tube tester.
I had one of those old tube testers, it went right into the dumpster.
