When I tested the gassy 21AXP in my CTC-4 there was a LOT of neck light. There was some on this tube but you would have to REALLY be looking for it...Which I did when I retested it after running it in the set.

I got the tube for free from Miniman a couple of years back, so I can't complain about it being gassy. It did have a cataract when I got it, and was the first successful cataract removal I ever did. Between the use as a learning tool for cataract removal and the decent safety glass I harvested from it I'd say I got more than my moneys worth out of it. LOL.

I cleaned the good CRT and the harvested safety glass from the bad one, put some foam tape spacers on the tube face and caulked the safety glass on to the good tube. Both the tube and glass have some small scratches so neither will ever be perfect, but it should serve as a decent CRT for the set. In 23 hours when the caulk is dry I'll put the Silver-Glo CRT back in the set this time without a cataract AND WITH a safety glass.
