CRT Electron gun pop & Vintage Philco Chassis

[DJelectfire]

Is the tube making that sound or is it the generator you were using?

[HDXFH]

@DJelectfire It's the generator making the pulsing sound

what does the pop achieve?

[HDXFH]

@quicknuclearscience Over drove the Electron Gun Filament to the point of meltdown, These were Junk CRT's anyway

[quicknuclearscience]

@HDXFH ok, so it didn't really do anything useful just had fun making them pop. Cool!

That vintage Philco Radio was one GREAT find!!!!!! I hope that crt tube didn't put out any x-rays at you!

[HDXFH]

@MrGerbilBrain No, i didn't power it up with High Voltage, It's the HV that charges them, to make the Electrons light up the phosphors, X Rays are generated from the HV in the tube
