Anyway, I need the CRT. Do you have a tube checker? Also I need a scanned copy of the sams or something, so I can check voltages so we dont ruin a good CRT.


Thanks!!! Email me.

2 things that can damage the crt are excessive hv(shunt regulator not working)
excessive beam current(too bright for long time)
btw i have a b&k 467 tester with all adaptors and a clip lead attachment.

I dont need the TV, I already have the TV. I just need a good CRT.

Because, i just dont have a weak CRT, my CRT is toast. history. I cant even see a picture to even tell if the set works or not.

Anyway, I did notice strong ionization in the tube, blue everywhere, and then the filiments went. but the HV would shut down a couple of times before hand. I had to turn off and back on to get the HV back up again.

I can carry just about anything. I just dont drive, nor have a license to.

Im at collage right now, and that eats most of my time.

I have to get rid of that blasted CRT brightner before I power the set back up again. I avoid those brightners at all costs. My 24yp4 in my silvertone finally gave way. but, it was a good ride. never had a chance to restore the chassis before the picture tube died. some ideot before I had it sprayed tuner cleaner all over it, it seeped into the yoke, made some arcing, and a loud pop and blew a hole in the picture tube, I heard it pffffffffffffst. all vacuum gone. O well, ill find one of those eventually too I guess. I just want to get that color TV going again. This would be my first early color TV other than that GE portacolor I got, that just collects dust. I never use it, i prefer bigger CRTs.

i have 9, and STILL want more, like a pre-1960's set, such as an rca ctc5 or 7. My sets are(IIRC), 3, Zenith, 24nc31's, from 1966, a Zenith 24mc32, from 1965, A Zenith 25mc33, from 1965, an RCA ctc 16, from 1965 an Rca ctc-11, from 1962, And A Zenith 29jc20, frmo 1962,(working) and a Zenith Roundie combo,chassis 25lc20, from 1694, with a hybrid stereo. (working)

Only 3 years ago, I only had the RCA ctc-11. Since then, I have acquired the others.

I DO have a roundie tube, with a VERY bad cataract problem, that would fit your set. I do NOT know how good it is, otherwise.

I'll check some of my sets this week, and maybe the crt, and see what I find out.
