Just pulled two more weak roundies out of donor sets I had in the garage. Decided to take two to Dallas in case of another unfortunate failure. Or, I would get back two successful rebuilds.

One of the sets looked like it had some dirt or grime on the safety glass. Turns out, there were several chips on the face of the CRT glass. This tube is marked as an FJP, so it appears that it probably had cataracts, and someone removed the bonded glass and reinstalled the tube with an FBP safety glass. Some of the chips are 1/2 inch in diameter. There are quite a few of them. Someone must have been really rough on this tube when they changed the glass. I'm sure this is a big-time safety hazard, so I'll leave it behind when I go to Dallas.

The chips are very visible. I'm sure they would be even more visible if the tube was operating.
