Re: Philips 22CS1002/05t TV
The K30 was a great set but was unkind to its tube. The A56-540X was used in many sets of the period, however, and the longevity was mixed. So maybe you can still find a good one in a Sanyo 5133, an Amstrad 2200 or a TX100, as these were kinder to their tubes in my experience. If you can find someone with a BK rejuvenator or similar I've found that they respond quite well. Sounds like your repairer was understandably reluctant to short out the coils on the CRT base but, as Maarten says, you've nothing to lose.
PS Make sure the RGB HT decoupling cap's been changed as Ben says - ISTR it was increased in value from 4.7 to 22uF but I might be wrong on this.
