What I was wondering is it common to have such different readings on guns (two nearly dead and one very strong)? I don't have enough exp to know if this is common.
It seemed to be rather common on certain makes of CRT's. Admiral and Westinghouse, plus Motorola CRT's had this problem most often.
Unfortunately, even with only one gun bad, the CRT, still had to be replaced.
Channel rebuilts, were only slightly better, than the local rebuilder's products.
