Hmm, new CRT, new flyback, this isn't that bad of a situation actually. It's almost like a new TV (minus the capacitors are still original).

Sadly though since loosing my job I won't be able to afford a new TV, but I am going to keep this bookmarked. Hopefully by the time I get a new job I can afford it.

My brother bought that same set several years ago, for his basement rec room. It was something like $188.00, on sale, brand new.
It's an entry level model, as basic as they come.
The thrifts are selling CRT sets, so cheap, around here. Priced at $1.00 to $20.00, on the high end.

I don't know how relevant this is now, but have you tried the procedure I outlined for rejuvenating the CRT? No special stuff needed, use the stuff in your junkbox to do it!
--I posted it here somewhere...

Its a Lot less stressful than the usual booster like a B-K, Muter etc.--ie, no arcing and sparking that just ruins the cathode surface, burning away good and bad material alike....

I/we in the UK recently have been messing round trying some really stuffed CRT's with some good success. The Sony KV1320 I did is still really good...

With all the differences between sets and countries, the CRT low-emission issue is much the same!

Just an update, since I had the TV apart today trying to find the cause of whine in the TV for my room mate, I decided to see how the CRT is working.

Put on a movie full of color, turned up the color more on the TV than I normally would.

Still no bleeding of colors. This CRT is holding up quite well.

I think I have one of those CRT's in my repair stock, a Hitachi if I remember correctly. Make me an offer.....

Well as per the latest post, the CRT is still holding up well so far. Still seems green in the shadow areas when warming up, but it DOES wake up now.

However if you live in Florida near the Daytona area I might be willing to work something out.

I'm a bit further east.... New Brunswick Canada (next to Maine). I have a lot of CRT's I'd sell cheap and many I'd give away if anyone wants them.
