Sad to say, I got bit by the wonderful tube explosion bug!

Looking for anyone that may have a potential 29" tube that I can pick up to bring this bad boy back to life. Doesn't need to be tri-sync but that is an obvious plus. Ideally, located around CT/NYC area for local pickup.

Not 100% sure, but I was testing a new chassis. First power on was good, everything looked great. Adjusted brightness slightly, and then let it run for like 30mins. No issues. Turned it off. Then about 30-45 mins later went to power it back on again to see things and there was a large flash on the backside and a pop. Nothing burnt on the chassis or neck board, but now no neck glow. Tested with my rejuvenator as well, and no glow or reading of emissions; guns are dead.

From talking to a couple folks and a post on AP, I think I was a victim of an issue with the nanao 2931 chassis where the HV control goes too far out of control and the result is a short between the anode to the neck. Flash was an arc or from the neck.

The really sad news is the colors on this tube were great. Convergence was close to perfect. No burn.... Ok I am going to go back and cry some more...
