Has anyone ever had any success using a set of convergence rings on tube they weren't originally intended for? I have a post in the wanted section looking for convergence rings for my u5000...
...but I was wondering out of curiosity, I have a set of convergence rings for a 4600 that fit the neck...
Replacing u501 made no apparent changes. No adverse screen effects other than the slightly wavy image I mentioned before, it reminds me of something you'd see with a bad ground. My other U5000 had a wavy image like this to the best of my memory, and I solved it by removing the ground from the...
I think I figured it out. I tested again and I believe I didn't have the flyback anode fully secured, I noticed when I put it back in that it didn't want to stay in the hole and I had to bend the prongs back apart to make it work. So it probably just ran across the aquadag and it looked like it...

Yeah degause was plugged in every time. I do have a degause wand but I hadn't been able to get it to replicate the problem reliably enough to test. I even took a screwdriver and tapped all around the chassis with the handle to try and set it off on command but never could get it to do so. If it...
