Hi Tim,
Sorry about that horizontal burn on an otherwise good CRT. Based on how rare old CRTs are now, if you replace it, save it. For some folks, it would be better than nothing.
One of these days, I have to round up some CRTs I am not going to use, including a 17" 70 (0r 90, I can't remember) degree aluminized tube that I pulled out of a TV as a kid, and a rebuilt 21" metal B/W tube out of a 1954 RCA. (All these sets I couldn't fix because I couldn't afford the schematics, and now, you can get them free on the internet!!) I also have a 25" tube from an RCA color set, and a complete RCA color set with a 25 "V" CRT. I will have to dig them out, get the numbers off them and offer them up for sale or giveaway. I can't bring myself to trashing them.
