Just a day after replacing the lytics and adjusting the HV to 25Kv I had a tube fail. THe Hv suddently died. I did not immeditaly suspect the horz out tube.
I removed the tube and reinstalled it and I could see the tube arcing inside. Not by the grids. It was arcing from those silver rings that are attached to the plate of the tube to the silver getter on the inside of the glass. The TV worked though even with this small arc. How or why it was arcing to the silver getter is besides me. The tube could be getting gassy.
I had a new 6JS6 and this tube is doing fine with no arcs. The tv had been run for 3 years daily on the old Horizontal output tube. Pretty good since these tubes are super expensive. AES wants 56 dollars for one 6JS6C!
Happy holidays everyone!
