Got a dead 33" tube with a tested good working pentranic chassis. Found what looks like an identical tube - size, pinouts etc are all the same But
The dead one is Mexican and has the number 89C1UBP/00-7233295-1410
This one is made in France and has the number 99-ILL2/03-F45-0543
The plugs from the neck are identical. The neck itself is identical
I measured red and blue on the old crt- 5.9ohms- new 4.5ohms
Yellow and green old 10.5 ohms, new 13.5 ohms
reckon its safe to try it on the chassis?
