Yesterday morning my 3 year old and I watched the jungle book on the 11. About near the end of the movie the CRT got dimmer and dimmer and blurry.
So.. I gave this tube one last bump before I gave up and looking for a replacement. I left the tube cooking for at least 6 hours at 8.5v so it got nice and hot. Dialed it back to 6.3. Checked emission. All 3 barely registered. So.... I wacked all three guns at rejuv 3 function. What a spark, very audible!
Results were impressive. That's what's wrong. I had a smear issue I was trying to chase down in the IF section. It was the CRT that was causing all the issues. Well nice and bright now! Lol doubt it will last a day like this. Actually the chassis outputs an excellent image. Oh and the filters measure good. But I'm monitoring them.
