Maybe you find somebody from sweden to make bare tube swap to current hardwares. Making it locally is more less hassle and no risk that complete tube get broken in transport.

It's not rocket science if I can do it. Very Happy

I have them available new MEC (I have to check to see if I have DMB's or DVB's which are Bacro). These are not rebuilds but new factory MEC tubes.

Sets are $1200, individual tubes are $450. I have quite a few but have been so busy w/ 9" tubes that I haven't really paid attention to the 8"ers.

This is for the raw tube. Mounting the tube in your housing is $100/tube w/ new glycol. You send me your old tube, I do the R&R.

You can email me at terfer@comcast.net or call 404-557-6351

Sorry for the ad Curt and Kal.

Terry

Bleed glycol out of tube. Filling screw(s) is under aluminium tape in some Barco tubes.

You need to remove front glass first, thats done using sharp knife. Cut rtv seam carefully and clean all rtv from glass.

Remove most of rtv from frame rear seam using knife.
Then there is two alternative:
1. Cut also seam between tube face and frame using thin wallpaper knife.
2. Place big peace of wood to tube face and use few clamps or hydraulic press to press tube out of frame.

Clean tube front glass (if it's used) and frame from remaining rtv. Then just glue all together with black rtv, like

Use same seam thicknesses that originally and let dry day or two. Fill with glycol using syringe.

Start practising with those burnt tubes. Very Happy

Sounds like the same procedure as i did with my old Sony 1020 (sd-187? tubes) that got fungus..

What kind of glycol should i use? OR do i keep the old one? (like i did on the sd-187 tubes).

How do i remove the shiny lead shielding around the tube without ripping it apart? (at the front of the tube where there are wires ands tuff)

It's like fungus removal, but you need to remove also aluminium frame.

You can use old glycol if it's still clear. When it get old it turn yellowish.

If it's gone bad you can try to find crt cooling fluid, but it's hard from europe and it's not allowed to ship overseas.
I have used straight propylene glycol (from pharmacy) for AC tubes without problems. It can't be mixed with old fluid.
For LC I mix 30% glycerol to propylene glycol to match original fluid refraction index.

I don't think that sticker shield is needed to remove, just make small hole to it if filling screw is under it.

Also leave small air bubble to tube for heat expansion.
