I changed the CRT HV anode wire on TEK o'scope by ...
- removing the silicon glued cover/cap
- desolder old anode lead
- clean silicon
- solder new anode lead
- re-silicon the lead cover/cap

Now ? is there any test i should perform to make sure i did the
job correctly/well ?
Like checking for corona leaks or any other such matters ?

Best method to do these tests

Also i noticed the Aquadag coating on the good CRT is alot more
uneven (bumpy) is there anything that should be done with the
Aquadag ?

Any useful ideas and help appreciated.

Turn it on in a dark room and look for corona, smell for ozone, listen for
sizzling, and pull the plug if anything bursts into flames


Ahhh!!! why deny us the pleasure of a nice bonfire?????
