Hmmm Jeff, Is it jealousy...or PMS? IMHO a CRT can be diagnosed 99.9% of the time with voltage measurements and a 10K/10Watt resistor! This is one of those 0.1% that's inconclusive. Perhaps the difference is that we use and understand technical measurements rather than rely on a piece of equipment that you always seem to need a new socket for. To answer your question, yes, I have one. (but I'm not sure where). Hope you feel better soon ;-) Jim McVey McVey Alltronix 327 Broadway Newburgh Ny 12550 ph: 845 561 8383 fx: 845 561 9017 Consumer electronics & computer service.
