Admiral 22X12

Oh, the CRT is a RCA 12LP4A dated 6 over 13.

Here is a picture of the date:



It tested almost new on my BK 467.



Here's the life test result:



It also had very good cut-off!

Tonight I powered it up using the variac. It plays. There's issues but here ya go:

Nice!

I have one of those chassis that I pulled from a crusty combo unit a few years back that I keep around just for testing 10BP4 and 12LP4 CRT's. It's been all recapped and aligned but I made no effort to clean up the chassis much. Every so often I fire it up on the bench and enjoy an old movie with the tubes all glowing in the background. Very easy to work on and they produce a pretty nice picture.

[edit]Here it is tonight with a metal envelope 8AP4A stuffed in the yoke.

Wow, Kevin that's a good picture.
