Default Re: HMV 1920 made in 1960.

I’ve had good results with the non destructive reactivation, I’ve got my Murphy V180C running (finally!) and I’ve fitted what was a clapped out Mazda CRM-121A, or so it seemed, it was very dull to begin with, but after a short go at the above it came up, but I still needed the lights out, and if the brightness or contrast were turned up I’d get fly back lines, I put up with it, running the set daily for an hour or 2, and over the last few months of running the picture has gotten brighter, I can now view the set in a fairly well lit room! It’s still not as good as a new tube, but it’s useable! Maybe the tube in your HMV will wake up over time?

Regards
Lloyd
