CRT Socket assembly

A cathode ray tube socket for use with a tube having terminal pins normally operating at varying potentials and including means for developing controlled arc gaps for selected ones of said pins, said socket comprising a base, a support member mounted on said base and a cover, a low-voltage arc-gap module mounted on said base, a high-voltage arc gap module mounted in said base, a plate having an electronic circuit formed thereon mounted on said support, said electronic circuit comprising a resistive element, wiper contactors mounted on said plate, said cover enclosing said plate, said support on a portion of said base, said wiper elements providing a means of selectively coupling a voltage from said resistive element to selected ones of said terminal pins.
