Although this CRT is working OK now, I doubt it will for long. So I've been keeping my eyes open for a replacement. I was quite surprised to see a NOS 10FP4 on eBay last week. I really hope I wasn't bidding against one of you guys
Here's it is in it's original box.
Did GE have exclusive rights to this tube ?
It tests really good
Here are a couple pics from my initial tests. It's hard to photograph the difference but to my eyes this tube is brighter and clearer.
Maybe it's not kosher to use a 10FP4 in this set but I'm not complaining.
Here's a video I shot while trying out this CRT.
