UPDATE JUNE 7, 2019, DAY 311
Hi Marshall. “I have checked some voltages and my conclusion is that my crt is just not tracking well. Your statement about the phosphor may have some merit but it is very hard to prove. It is time to prepare the 15GP22 for installation. The aquadag needs to be replaced. This process went very slow. I spent about 3 hours on this part. I used a lot of water and paper towels to soften the “still hardened” parts for removal. Here we go.
Pix #1 Before dag removal. Some of the material is literally falling off.
Pix #2 Removing the label that warns about high vacuum etc. A wet paper towel helps. The label will go back on later.
Pix #3 A good picture of the old dag material falling off.
Pix #4 and #5 show measurements I took so I know where the new material will go back on the bulb.
Pix #6 All the dag material has been removed.
Once again, Cheers.”
