Title: Muter killed Red cathod
Post by: vernimark on December 22, 2012, 04:23:05 PM

Dear all,
yesterday I was annoying, so decided to regenerate most of my crts with (temporarely) my Muter.
I've to say I'm quite happy what happened to my videogames, with the exception of Tempest; infact I've lost 90% or RED
Some of you have more experience with tubes regeneration so do you think I have to repeat the regeneration on red cathod or just save a research on ebay for a new tube??? :)


regards,
Marco

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!


NEVER regenerate "just like that" !!!!!

There must be a _reason_ to regenerate !!!! Of all the tubes I have had connected on my Muter maybe 2 or 3 I regenerated because of them showing REALLY weak guns.....

If the guns are only "just" good, they _are_ good and should not be rejuvenated !!!

So....about that Tempest tube:

At what level did you rejuvenate the gun and for how long ?

Actually I don't remember, I had just arrived home after surgery and anesthesia was not over yet. but I strictly followed the instruction manual! I remember I had a short circuit that I repaired...

Surgery, not too serious I hope ?

It does happen. There will always be a risk when rejuvenating tubes. It really is a last option for otherwise unusable tubes...

yep, not too serious...

anyway I'm not convinced I did everything for that tube... I have to study "rejuvetion theory" haha
