I read in my book that the NE2-H was a recommended replacement. The grounding of the flyback aux coil (that triggers via this neon) may be faulty. This was an issue in the later rectangular chassis KC-KD-KE as well.

Edit: This book has a good bit of advise about alignment of the color circuit (a quirky GE exclusive). The predecessor chassis CA and those before were RCA design. The tint control is a variable capacitor for example. PM me if you want a copy of the 'CB' chapters.
