$990 is what the three tubes are going to cost at a minimum.
Given the fact that the set is in AKB blanking due to a weak tube, all three
MUST be replaced or you will have the same blinking problem due to one tube
being too strong and out of balance for the AKB circuit to handle it.

Yes, slightly turning up the G2 voltage on the tubes one at a time will
confirm which tube is bad, make sure to mark where they were before you
started so you can turn them back.

what would you guess I'd have to spend for a tube, are there any used or
are the new tubes reasonable ?

Has anyone here got experience with this model ? In some other
brands/models these tubes, have problems over heating and cracking
anyone know about this model, since it is 61", my guess is it does.


Have you tried turning up the screens one at a time? If the pix stops
blinking,
then you probably found the bad tube.
