When I first checked it with a reduced heater voltage, the neck got a little warm to the touch, but I couldn't see any glow.
I'll try the charged cap trick, as the Crt is probably scrap.
When I first received the tube, it had a lot of gray plastic tape wrapped around the front of the tube, but not covering the bond between the CRT front and the safety glass. It was appearant the the tube needed cataract surgery. I didn't care about that, as long as it showed a good picture.
A little history about this set. I bought it from Doug, drh**** on Ebay.
The set is a low hours set, that is extremely nice and appears to not ever being repaired. All original tubes, clean inside and out. That was the famous CRT that almost cost him his life. It imploded, when he was attempting cataract surgery.
I bought a conversion kit on ebay for a 25XP22 and half the parts were missing. I guess some things aren't meant to be.
