Thanks folks! Andy had a good point. That is why the traps are called beam benders by some. I still dont feel at ease. I just looked through the side of the tube to the back of the screen and I only see the same greenish white color as any other tube. No silver. The inside coating on the neck goes up so far it is hard to say how "straight" the gun really is. What you can see of it is nearly straight. I looked at another tube in a working set and the bend in the gun is obvious up next to the base. This tube was not a 10BP4. I wish I could get a look at a working set with this tube and the correct double trap. Again no silver on my screen but I can get a raster with no trap. The raster was distorted as if there is sweep trouble, but still a raster. If anyone has a set with a 10BP4 maybe you could take a look at it for me and see how "bent" the gun is and note if a double trap is used. The trap will be obvious as it is two traps hooked together. I sure would like to be able to feel secure in running this set for more than a few minutes. Also I may need a double trap if anyone would sell one..
Thanks everyone!!
