CRT-specific electrical, optical, deflection, focusing, capacitance, and mechanical data are retained in TUBE_SECTION_PARAMETER because the locked promoted fields primarily target conventional electrode sections.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
