Re: Tragic 19VLUP22 tube...Please help if you can

The vacuum is slowly removed, the old neck is then cut off and a new neck is
installed. The vacuum is then pumped while the CRT is heated. If all is
done right the tube will set up properly and work almost as good as new.

BUT....

Screen burn is not repairable (and what game CRT doesn't have burn?).
Replacement neck (gun) assemblies are getting very hard to find (not used
much anymore, newer necks are smaller than used on older tubes).

You might be fighting a losing battle.

I am sure he would be up for selling it, he said nobody showed interest in

donate it.

He gave me a demonstration of how each one worked, they didn't seem
extremely complicated. I am sure to take over the business you would need to
practice alot before you worked on good tubes.

   You better call now. I was just there picking up my 19VLUP22 tube and he
said he is shutting down and retiring at the end of this month.
He's got a nice shop, I'll have to post the pics I took when I get a chance.

Hawkeye tubes will rebuild that tube for you including repairing that
crack.  I don't have a link.  do a google search.

Have you tried a CRT rejuvenator on it yet? If its not a bad short, you can
blow that shorted crap right out with one of those. If nothing else, it will
let you know exactly what is up with the tube.

 Hello,
     I have been helping a friend restore his Tempest, and he recently was
able to get a NOS 19VLUP22 tube . Tube seemed to be packed pretty well, in
original NOS box, and looked good when unpacked. Never was bumped, jarred,
or mishandled in any way during installation. Installed tube to chassis,
began convergence.
    Yoke and purity assembly  were both still LOOSE, nothing tightened.
Moved yoke carefully forward to do green calibration, screen was getting
nice green crosshatch, starting to look good, suddenly the tube fades goes
dark. I'm thinking, something must be up with the HV, I still hear yoke
chatter, spot killer is off, picture was there, then faded. Suddenly, I hear
the sizzle, and see the blue arc in the neck, and want to start ripping the
rest of my hair out...
     Does anybody have a source on new tubes? Please help if you can.
     The old tube in this game has so much phosphor burn that it is almost
unusable, former owner had to leave this poor thing running for a LONG time
with no signal to monitor, the burns are terrible.
I remember Richardson electronics, but I guess they're long gone as a tube
supplier of these..Please help if you can.
Thanks Very Much,
Michael Kelley
