Hi Guys,

John Yurkon, Thanks! for this input:
However, if the leak is at the ultor flange as Bob and John think, then I doubt that this technique will work because the metal is an equipotential surface. You wouldn't be able to pinpoint the leak. Also, since the flange penetrates the glass it would conduct even better than a pin hole in the glass.

Will translate ASAP & send to RACS, it's good forward thinking.

I did send them in August the set of Flange Cross-Section photos taken by John and Bob.

To everyone: Thanks for the encouragement.

A useful thing we can do right now: find some really "Lean and Mean" pricing quotes on USA to Europe shipping for a box containing a CRT the size of a 15G. We already got hit in the teeth with atrocious prices (US $1200.00 each way) for prospective DuMont 30 inch CRTs, as a result, none were sent.

Best Regards
