Replaced Q5106, and tried wire around FBT core for heater. Retrace was gone, color improved, but still Streaky and unbalanced. Found R5110 open. Replaced, took off the heater boost , and put regular Heaters back on. Color much better, balanced, no streaks, but too much red....hardly any blue or Green. Replaced other 2 120K resistors for the other 2 Colors like R5110 was for , still have too much red, and hardly any blue or green. Is this a Bad CRT ? Any way to determine it without a CRT checker / Rejuvinator?

Going to replace it, and Winstips Says to Isolate the Heaters with 5 Turns around the FBT core with with 20 Ga. Wire. I see this CRT is commonly bad.
