While I'm not an expert on the 2465B AT ALL, I wouldn't worry about the bends and I wouldn't "fix" them.? While they probably could take an adjustment to realign them, they might have already been flexed a few times, and the last thing you want is a work hardened break.? A single bend shouldn't compromise the seal at all.? I have seen many bent CRT pins due to impacts, ham handed techs and ???, but even "normal" CRT leads tend to be random in my view.? Like you say, it lights up and seems normal,? I'd leave it at that.??
It's not like the 184 TMG, were the 2 fastest outputs seem to need magic to work at all!

Hello all:
Here is a photo of the CRT VERT plate and term in a newly received 2465B.
the? area around the term is VERY delicate and affects Vert transient response. I have NEVER seen a CRT pin bent like this.
CRT light up and seems normal.
1/ Anyone seen this before?
2/ Will the bend? compromise? glass to metal seal and? make it susceptible to future leaks?
3/ Could the pin angle be from adjustment of transient response or more likely inexperience and sloppy handling?
MANY THANKS
Jon
