Well, it was a year and a half later, and I'm not a TV tech. I knew
immediately on power up it was a deflection problem, but too groggy to
figure it out until after posting. And yup...pitched the old tube with
the yoke on. My thinking at the time was I would just get another $1
beater that some kid stuck a PBJ into the DVD drawer, and would get
another CRT out of the deal. But never ran into another deal like that.
I didn't know new tubes did not come with the yoke. I have this mental
image of seeing the old tube arc into the recycle bin....groan.
Still need help finding a yoke...gave y'all a good laugh, how about a
bone here?

OK, I have 2 Toshiba 9" TV/DVDs. One (brand new, ebay, $20)had a gassed
CRT, so I took the tube out of the other one (ebay, $1, scratched up
case) which worked perfectly. The first one works fine with the replaced
tube. Now 1 1/2 years later, I buy a "new" CRT, (ebay) same part#, to
get the second one up and running. After installing the tube, just a
bright dot in the center of the screen on power-up. All the connections
went normally. Is this indicative of a defective tube? The set worked
fine before removing the old CRT.
