I have had very good luck,placing crts on their face as the crap that burns
off goes down into the bottom of the envelope,and not on the guns.Even did
some zenith tubes,and rapping on the neck while hitting the rejuv button
repeatedly works good for me. Apparently the shower of sparks is good!
DO NOT REJUV A GOOD TUBE AS THERE IS A RISK! I never rejuv a tube on a
set that had a pix when it came in.A no pix job can be dumped WITHOUT buying
a crt, if we screw up! al
