Motorola Quasar Part needed

[ctc17]

I was recently given a set like that with a weak crt. Upon researching the crt number all the info came back as 'worst color crt ever made'. I forget the number 23egp22? Something like that.

I dont know yet if the common 25xP22 will work in its place.

If this is the case with yours and its your daily watcher, you may want to seek out a vintage color set that uses more standard parts. RCA, Zenith etc

If it's a Quasar solid state set, I dont think they ever used a 23EG. At that late in the game they went with 25X or 25A types of CRT's

I am a bit confused is there a reason to think one gun is weaker than the others? there can be a lot of reasons for weak color that does not include a bad CRT. I just got worked on an RCA that had almost no blue and red, The crt tested very good on all guns. It was a broken wire on a pcb that supplied B+ to a color amplifier tube. Video amp tubes can mess up the bias of a CRT, and AGC can cause a lot of problems if not workiing properly. Even really bad CRT's can be setup for decent performance, not great but decent.
