Thank You for the responses guys .

And Jon , I wish it were true that the CRT was easily obtained but a wanted ad here turned up nothing , and come to find out it's a "low voltage focus" tube that not a lot of sets appear to have used . I do now believe this one will produce a good picture and it's not like I have any "Daily Watcher" plans for it anyway , just to be able to run it a couple or few times a year will be fine with me .
