I recently picked up a display unit to match the 8566B I purchased a month or so ago, supposedly working fine, but I discovered the CRT was extremely dim, among some other issue with a sweep but no signal (flat line at the bottom of the grid).? My attempts at rejuving the CRT to give me some use until having to replace it with either a CRT or a NewScope kit succeeded in brightening it up a little, so I figured I'd do it again, with a bit longer application of the little red button on my B&K 465... and promptly blew out the CRT.? No great loss, as it was basically toast to begin with.?
I really like the idea of keeping this a CRT, at least until I get the 85662A working properly, at which time I might eventually splurge on a NewScope 8.? In the meantime, does anyone happen to have a decent CRT for sale for this 85662A?? This is the first generation display with the original style CRT - not the later one.
I sure do miss Hawkeye picture tube remanufacturing.
