I just looked at the picture of your test jig and saw the burn -- as you said, it is right in the center of the screen. The TV picture on the set's own CRT is excellent, if overscanned. I guess I should have examined all photos attached to the post thoroughly before assuming that the burn was on the television's CRT, which was my first thought.

In any event, it's fortunate that the burn mark is not on the set's own tube, as I am sure 21FJP22 roundie color CRTs (or any other type of cathode-ray tube, even rectangular, for that matter) are becoming scarce, and are (or could be) very difficult if not impossible to find in this age of flat-screen TVs.
