I'll call Charlie in the AM, but there's NO danger in my procedure, based on the tubes I've done, and from what Charlie at VDC told me.

There are LOTS of warnings on this site. I quoted the main one above. The procedure says not to go above 60 contrast and brightness. As I said, there are too many variables here to point fingers at one thing. Chip imploded a Panasonic green tube without doing anything. Bad tube, or bad Chip? It's happened to me as well. Shite happens.

<edit> I realize I'm overreacting a bit. I will call Charlie at VDC in the AM, early, and will post what he says. I will suggest that Ironman does the same. I'll post my findings.


Yep, I had a perfect green tube suck wind on me that had been in service for over 5K hours IN A AMPRO.
That must have been the problem "A AMPRO"

To all you AmPro bashers. The beastie is on it's fourth set of tubes Laughing Thumbs Up Cool
