Picture Tube Swap

[refill233]

Okay i tried the brightner on the tube for about 2 hours.Took it off and fired
up the set and it looked good.Turned power off for awhile, and tube is about
the same as it was.Looks like the brightner has to stay to be watchable.I don't want to watch it all the time just short term plays at the time.So how
long do you think its got with the brightner? Nice set and its a keeper.Thanks!

What set uses this tube is tube round I guess?

A true hack would be to use a smaller crt with magnifier lens to make screen look larger AS OEM.


Smaller crt would be lighter for mounting less ideal tho.

I have a spare Zenith chassis with a 16G in it I will check it this week for you.
