DuMont RA-106 Club 20

[ohohyodafarted]

Hi Tom,

Last month I purchased Chuck Azzalina's DuMont Manchu, which has a NOS 20BP4 in it. When Chuck was taking delivery on the set about 7 or 8 years ago, they dropped it when unloading from the truck. Snapped the neck off of it. Somehow Chuck found a NOS 20BP4 to replace the broken crt.

The tube is soooooo impressive. In my conversations with Chuck, he tells me the tube is rather heavy.

I don't intend on removing my crt from the set (no reason to do so) but I am curious; with the tremendous physical size and weight of the crt, How in the heck did you lift it out of the cabinet? And do you have a weight of this humongus bulb?

Please tell us the story of how you removed the tube.

Thanks!!
