Tubejunkie: Glad you found a new lin coil. I'll post a picture when I pull the chassis later today. The door on my set is dented too, on the handle. I may try to fix the dents, if I don't like the result I do have a spare door. If whatever door I have left at the end is presentable I'll let you know about it.

That is how it will be. The Zenith tube tests 85% on the red and 76% on all else and the Silver-Glo tests 72% across the board.
The Zenith tube is on the border line of failing the color tracking test though. So if I can't get the colors to track I may have to do a mild rejuv to balance emissions better.
I'm starting to think the ETF CRT tester is tuned to be a bit optimistic in it's readings. It tested the Silver-Glo as ".1 Excellent" which as the set was advertised for the meet is the point where the meter pegs on their tester...On my tester it tests at 72% of full scale which is the lower end of 'good'. I've tested CRTs which make that value look anemic on my tester.
