Re: Anyone have a neckboard or a connector for a 19VLUP22?

I know it might sound like a real insult, but i have to ask as i had
someone reporting similar problems who was convinced it was a tube
problem... Have you cleaned the face of the CRT and both sides of the montor
bezel/glass through which you are viewing it?

A suitably dirty/dusty screen will make everything bright apear fuzzy and
defocussed...

Can you show us a picture?

And to add to the vibe, 'mark' is completely wrong, the defocussing was only
a feature of the Amplifones, and only for the death star explosion.

Yeah, I get fuzzy vectors in several places. When my shields get replenished 
after the death star, the indicator is supposed to flash bright - but it 
just flashes fuzzy. Fireballs are fuzzy. I've got the focus turned up almost 
all the way too. I've gone through and adjusted my cutoff/drive controls to 
get it as clear as I can. I can make it sharper by backing off on the 
controls, but then anything that's not bright pretty much disappears.

Yeah, I'm almost positive it's the tube. My HV is running right about at 
19.75kv according to the meter. B+ is regulating nicely right around 180v 
(after replacing a blown transistor in that circuit...).

Yeah, I'm still on the lookout for something I can use to attach this tube 
to my rejuvinator. I do know that the actual pinout is the same as the CR-23 
adapter, but it obviously won't mate up due to the different neck connector. 
I *could* pry the keyway off the tube, and plug it in that way, but I don't 
want to risk breaking it. It isn't loose.
