If I understand correctly, the CRT is smashed (I don't quite understand
what "no glass" means). For that reason, I'd ask for a refund, since there
a couple on ebay for comparable prices.
Just out of curiousity, is the A/B toggle switch lever on the 177 intact? I
have three of those and all three have the switch lever broken off.

I recently bought a 577 D1 curve tracer with a 177 text fixture on ebay
for $845. It was described as being in working condition, but it's not. The
CRT has no glass in it. There is also no broken glass in the thing, so the
CRT was installed this way. Otherwise, it seems to be if fair condition.
Collector voltage is lower than selected by 10 to 15%, one knob is missing,
and one is cracked. Otherwise, not too bad. My question is this: For the
money that I've already got in it, should I buy a CRT and fix this one? Or
should I try to get a refund and keep looking? In either case, any
suggestions on where to look (other than ebay)?
Thanks in advance.
