Spare NOS roundy CRTs are extremely rare and sought after. If all you want is a good roundy CRT look for a CTC-16 or a less interesting clone (especially one with a wrecked cabinet that's priced cheap), confirm the tube is good with a tester before you buy it, then harvest your treasure. It's also doable to stick a brightener on the old tube, stick it in the donor set, make the donor set work well enough to sell and flip the the donor for a profit... I've done it before.
Sometimes they show up at TV swapmeets and sometimes if you know local collectors you can ask your way into acquiring one.
