I have no way to measure the green gun without cutting wires. But I
measured the cathode resistor of the red gun and got 600 microamps ..
which isn't great but that was average with a mostly white screen.

I'm actually beginning to think I'm being paranoid. I will know for sure
after the next ETF convention when I will take several pictures of all their
15GP22s under the exact same conditions as mine ... same camera
settings, same picture of Dorothy.
