The green looks fairly good, but I doubt that is 2000 hours of wear it looks to be 4500 or more or ran very high on G-2. The Red I have never seen worn on a Marquee. But I have only seen them on my P/J and Mike Parker's P/J in person. All of the others were online pictures like these. My P/J has at least 7000 hours on the red, per previous owner, he bought it with new tube{s} green for sure R&B unknown, or possibly 15,000 by the hour counter of CRT ON.

The RED shows no wear whatsoever.



But maybe the machine ran at 3200K not 6500K and used the red more?

Either way they don't look too bad, and appear to have been run at 4x3 with some Keystone.

That's a lot of wear, on both tubes, but especially on the red, but for $4., they'd be a good deal...

Keep in mind the colored C element diminishes the appearance of the wear considerably on the green, without the colored c element the green tube will be very obviously worn.

I note the seller states explicitly that there is "no warranty or return" which to me, would be a definite warning sign...but I'm a cynic. I've seen 9500LC tubes with much less wear that were totally burned out with virtually zero emission.

That will be one of the cheapest ways to get a Green C element.

The HVPS and lenses were the best deals from that seller. The tubes were only good for someone who needed ANY tubes, or needed the housings...
