The worst CRT scratches I have dealt with

[Hatsune Mike]

In short, I got this A68KJU96X tube, that has wonderful emissions, nice sharp focus, and... is scratched to shit. Antistatic coating is splotchy, which I can deal with, but it has lots of tags carved in it, which is harder.

I'm talking to a local glass restoration business to see about dealing with this professionally since this is above what I think I can buff at home.

More coming soon.

Man thats a shame, are good condition tosh tubes hard to come by out there too?

I just got two MS9s yesterday with splotches all over the antistatic coating. Initially thought it was just dirt and tried wiping it off. Surprise, it wasn't.

Will try Novus on them at some point.

I have one with couple bad scratches too. I just assume it's a lost cause https://photos.app.goo.gl/oU1Lwr4rLpHrzedr6
