I have a Canon monochrome CRT from 1984 that wasn't working. After extensive troubleshooting, I have determined the CRT must be nearing the end of it's life. I had to turn up the sub bright control to max in order to get an image. It is bright and sharp, but I don't think it will last. I tried to rejuvenate it, but that had no affect. The G2 is getting 628V and the G1 starts at -130 with all brightness controls down and bottoms at -2V at full (internal and external brightness) in order for the image to appear. All other voltages to the tube are correct as well. So from what I can determine, the tube is tired.
I found a seller on ebay that has 3 of these CRTs for sale. They are new and exact replacements (same model number). However, I don't know if the price is high, low or average. They want 195 + 45 shipping. I really like this monitor, but I don't want to overpay for a replacement CRT.
Thanks
