        You could've told that just from the neck glow, actually. :)

        OK, so you've got neck glow, but no picture. Do you hear any flyback
whine or static crackle which would indicate the high voltage is working?
If not, you might have a flyback problem. I seem to recall that the
high-voltage diode in the anode lead is a common failure on these...
Fortunately, they're replaceable. (Or, more accurately, they're
*accessable* -- the diode is in a little plastic "bullet" inside the place
where the anode lead emerges from the flyback. Getting your hands on one,
however, might present difficulties... Anyone know of a good source for
these?)
