Thank you John.
I said $50. because I was just guessing what someone may want and I do have a budget but it is important enough that I will come up with whatever amount of money to get the job done.
I hate to admit it as those who know me personally would think I am very wrong for doing so but I have about $450.00 in this set so far, not including the $360. to Hawkeye and the box and the shipping both ways, and nothing works properly yet, that includes the stereo and phono as well.
I did get a pic for a while until I burned up the filaments with my B&K 465 trying to get the filament short out. When I got the set it had not been used since 1973 and the green gun would not light. So, I spent alot of time turning the tube upside down and tapping the neck and finally got it too work and then sometime later the red gun filament shorted and I could not get it on or maybe it burned out I suppose. When I got the tube working the filaments would flash brite and immediately go to normal glow whenever power was applied. I checked the voltage going to the tube and it did not seem to go high at first while a 2.2meg resistor too ground was open. I changed the resistor and it seemed to make no difference. So, I think it was the filaments fault for flashing brite as opposed to the chassis giving too much voltage. I guess I will find out when my tube comes back!
