Re: My first foray into Old model TV repairs.
Good evening,
Could you do a couple of close up pictures of the tube neck to see if it is a crack. Is the getter in the base end of the CRT silver/black colouring or has it gone white. If it is white then is likely to have unfortunately gone to air. This would need to be addressed first as finding a working spare will be very difficult.
Unfortunately most setmakers made cabinets with a smaller depth than the length of the CRT with the consequence that quite a few 405 line CRT' television sets have had the neck damaged when the cardboard hat covering the CRT socket at the rear gets knocked or the set has been pushed over backwards and therefore due to the scarcity or spare CRT's the set is usually written off.
