I'm open to ideas about how to preserve this 21AXP22 in the meantime, although building vacuum chambers or bake boxes doesn't seem likely. My workshop is in an uproar during some remodeling and half its contents have already been evacuated into other parts of the house.

Hi Phil ,
In reading your post about not being able to easily build a vacuum chamber or bake box I got to wondering about the tube's physical position during storage . Specifically , would it make sense to store it in a position of having the screen up and the gun down , opposite of the normal way they come when new in their boxes ? (any new CRT I've ever unpacked was always "face down" in the carton)
I ask this with the idea that if there is enough moisture to rust the gun , and folks have mentioned possible phosphor damage , maybe with it stored screen facing up no moisture will be able to drip off of the gun and damage the phosphors ...
