No idea on the brightener. On the Anode question - do all of these have clips that just come out of the tube under the suction cup? Do you need to squeeze the clip to get it out? Afraid to try to pull it until I have more info, any and all will be appreciated. As for the condition of the CRT, I’m gambling on it as I have no way to test it. Figured I’d change out the electrolytics, remove and clean all the tubes, blow the dust out of everywhere I can get to, clean the pots, and see what happens. Works petty well for old amps, hoping the BW TV behaves similarly.
