In my search for a tube to replace my 4900 tube, I grabbed an RCA 19" TV hoping it had the right tube. It did not (different pin count)
My question is this: When I removed the tube from the TV, I noticed the white plastic piece around the pins at the very end of the neck was glued on(to the neck). On the 4900, the plastic piece is glued (and comes off with) the neck board. Should I be trying to remove the glued on piece from the new tube, or possibly the piece out of the neckboard if this happens again with the correct type of tube
FYI tube type was RCA 19VLPN22
It's my first potential tube swap, so I basically know just about enough to be dangerous....
Thanks, and I apologize in advance if this is really dumb question.
