7JP4 Picture Tube

[carlpete50]

HI Thanks to all for responding to my question pertaining to the picture tube. Sorry for the late response, but I was out of town for a couple of days and just got home about an hour ago. To Eric H, It looks like the arcing is coming from the HV capacitors and not the picture tube itself. I checked the arcing when it was still light outside, with all the lights out in the basement and with the metal covers on. Maybe I should check it with all the lights out, when it's dark outside and remove the metal covers. Also, Eric H, when you removed the picture tube base, did you do anything to loosen up the old glue, as I don't wanna cause any further damage when trying to remove it. Thanks again to all for you input on this matter.
