Motorola TS-95 chassis odd discovery - any ideas?

[kramden66]

Thanks guys it is a 6H6 , after looking at the tube the numbers 6H6 can be found but the first 6 almost doesn't look like a 6 , so why this tube ? earlier version of the chassis ?

Took the chassis out and i find it odd that there is no safety glass or signs that there ever was one , i guess they figured since its a 16GP4 and only the face is glass and the cone metal there wasn't a lot of glass to be worried about.

It originally had a safety glass or possibly a plastic one, that was either broken or damaged. It still needed implosion protection.

Yes it has a safety mask that is plastic , didn't notice till after i typed the post , it is part of the insulator around the rim of the crt , will be a pain to clean if theres dirt inside because you have to remove the strap holding the crt , pull it off and put it all back together but i guess thats part of restoring , cool thing is it already has the cut off at the top and bottom , no need to have the chassis in the cabinet to align the vertical.

I've seen german resistors in a andrea tv from that time period so that would also be part of the shortage too along with the sudden disappearance of focus coils and permanent magnets installed .
