Tm-21d
John,
A quick look at my TM-21D with the FJP (according to the manual) shows a bonded safety glass. Thick as a brick.
I can't help but wonder if your "wetting agent" was that good 'ol standby from magnifiers, that wonder chemical, mineral oil. Lay a pool in the glass and plop the tube in it and seal the edges.
Good luck. 50+ tubes and caps by the hundreds. Mine has a cold solder joint somewhere, so the cooling fan vibration gives it fits in the horizontal. It has not moved from my office upstairs in 10 years. Around 250 pounds, but does make a reasonable picture with no restoration yet.
It came from WFIL-TV (now WPVI-TV) here in Philadelphia and then went to Temple U. It left there and I traded a Majestic bakelite for it.
You post your pic and I will post mine.
