Tony, "cockeyed" is an Americanism for kattywampus :-) :-) :-)
Or, in more standard terms, not straight, twisted, mispositioned, etc.
Tony (among others) has given good info on tube repair in the past.
Talking of which, has anyone got any hints for rebuilding defective
CRTs? It seems like some madman on this list would have a vacuum setup...
There are some folks Stateside who do rebuild television CRTs. I have not
had a need to search them out yet as my TVs in the collection either seem
to work well enough or I have no desire to get a gassy or tired CRT rebuilt
as the there is something else presently unrepairable on the chassis. (Last
count I've got around 12 or so pre-1952 TVs in the collection.)
I wonder if by now those rebuilder folks are getting into computer monitor
CRT rebuilding? Hmm, I gotta keep my eye open for rebuilders. (Bill
Donzelli: have you heard of any rebuilders? I suppose I could check with
Harry Poster and see what he does or scour ARC.)
Regards, Chris
