Glad to hear that Bob. I'm sitting here wondering if maybe I want to be the one restoring it and having second thoughts. My wife thinks I'm crazy and my kids have no interest whatsoever when I "disappear" to work on TV's. If the CRT was for sure good I would restore it and the post above wouldn't have sounded like it did. It's just that even with the CRT testing I'm not sure it would work. I also don't think I am electronically savvy enough to make a 16gp4 work. On a side note, Island Lake may be closer to me than Barrington, I live on the Fox River near Port Barrington. Maybe I'm just frustrasted with the sets I am already working on, On my Motorola it seems as though my 8bp4 is dead. Fully recapped with full HV I just can't get a raster no matter what I do. The RCA 129 TA I was working on won't give me HV, I think the Horizontal drive is bad, I've been patiently waiting for either of those items to show up someplace without much luck. Can I test the Motorola with a 5AX4?(the test crt if that isn't the right #) A reasonably priced 7JP4 would be ok too but they always seem to be going for $100+. This hobby is growing up as we speak and I feel this is a sign of things to come and YOU personally will be someone who could take advantage of this. I have spent too many hours watching your videos hoping to figure something out and I can tell this is NOT your intent and speaking just for myself it's a breath of fresh air and I will say thank you for spending as much time as you do making those videos.
