Interesting.
Anyway, it's all working now.
I like the layout, but the tubes are a complete bastard to get out. Why did they put that little fold right in front of the tube housings?? Industrial designer driven styling I reckon...they are the bane of my existence....

Glad to see your on top of things 
Wasn't aware the 808 tubes were such a pain.I'm just used to the 1209 I guess,it takes all of 5 minutes to pull out a tube.

Yep the 1209s at least is the easiest projector I have ever seen to remove a CRT. I can do a remove/replace on the ceiling in 15 mins. The 808 chassis is a bit more cramped and I know the lip that Mark is referencing.

Ok, I found the Run In Cycles in the menu.
I'll swap the Red back in and run it overnight.
But I'd rather not put my perfect Blue through that. Is there any harm in running it with the Blue HV lead unplugged?
I'll have to test whether the color selection menu affects the Run in Cycles, but I don't quite trust that. An unplugged HV lead is OFF.
EDIT: Color Select does not affect anything other than itself. Is there another way to turn off the colour? HV lead time...
Thanks guys
Mark

The Run In Cycles seem to have helped.
I ran it overnight, but even after an hour the tube seems much better.
Ramping both Contrast and Brightness it tracks much the same as the others. It's not quite as high output as the green now, but not bad.
Thanks for the tip 1031!
