Weekend CRT Cateract remove

[mstaton]

If it's the green halo type, then it wont work. Has to be the RCA type black moldy looking stuff. The green ones are a Pain in the a$$!
Snelson, yours does not need any work. No cataracts. Just clean and reinstall.

I disagree on Zenith cataracts being difficult. For someone like me who does not have a ton of patience Zenith style cataracts are more fun. The only parts that may be less enjoyable are that 'distilled essence of new vinyl' smell and the stickiness of the PVA, but they don't really bug me. All one needs to do is get the tube preped in the bucket, make the paddle and wire(no 18 single strand guitar string works well), do as I did in the below video, roll the PVA off the safety glass and tube(which sometimes don't go well on newer tubes),get tube face and safety glass spotless with Goof Off and Windex, and reattach the safety glass.


Here is a link to an album I created last summer when I taught my self the Zenith process(and ruined an RCA type CRT).
