Better an oil leaking and gassy gasket than an unsightly cataract, I would say.

I'm pretty confident it's an FBP. I stole this service manual picture off of ebay. The 5119 is listed as having a FBP.

In RCA and Zenith sets, the lower priced sets used non-bonded CRT's.
I, personally like it better that way.

It would certainly be a lot easier for us now days if they were all non bonded. Interesting that some of the real wood RCA cabinets actually had the non bonded.
