You can post a picture if it's not too much trouble. I found a source for a replacement, so I guess I may as well just replace it since the horizontal and HV sections are so critical in color sets. Most of my collection has always been 40s-50s black and white, so I am a bit lost at times with the many issues that come into play with color sets. I must say that mine came in the door with one beautiful color picture after decades of dormancy. Like yours, I had to replace a few tubes in the HV section and the plate of my H.O. tube was glowing red. Once I replaced the bad tubes it came alive like the day it came off of the assembly line. Of course after about an hour some quirks developed and the color went out. Someone here sent me a crystal that supposedly is a likely culprit with the color problem, but who knows really. Nice of them to help me though. That was over a year ago and I haven't had time to do anything else, but I'm getting the itch bad. I need a nice control door if you see one or have one. Mine is there but has a few dents albeit small.
