Perhaps I'm lucky. I have had better experience with the GE 10". It should produce a good, sharp picture.
When the 35 ohm (hot) globars go bad, they will not only delay warm up, but also prevent full voltage from getting to all the filaments. That will contribute to a poor picture and other symptoms. When the TV is operating properly, warm up is the same as any other set.
The 10FP4 is an aluminized, dark phosphor screen. It will produce a better picture than the 10BP4. GE was an early user of aluminized picture tubes.
