Oh well, you was right. I didn't check well it seems the first time. I
can SEE one of the 2 filament pins at the very end of the tube where
the pins are, the metal there is broken and disconnected. No
continuity there anymore. I've broken the heater connection. Time for
junk i guess ! That's a sealed part, is it ? Thanks.



Yep, the entire CRT is one piece of glass with a hard vacuum in it. Those
35" Trinitron tubes are notorious for failing, the 27s are much more
dependable.
