17tp4 crt

Just bought one from a fellow collector, arrived today by mail, luckily it came in one piece. It is a metal CRT, I was just wondering... is it rare or something like that?

IIRC that is a 17" rectangular type. Most metal CRTs were round the rectangular ones were among the last* before the metal CRT fad faded (presumably due to metal-glass joints increasing vacuum leakage issues).

*Color CRTs which were developed at the end of the metal CRT era and HAD to have a metal joint to install the shadow mask (until the frit glass method came out) were probably the real last metal cone CRTs made.

I picked one up 4 years ago from the antique television museum for $75 +shipping. NOS, unopened box and still had the warranty card. Going into my 1949 Hoffman Easy Vision TV/Radio/record player I am restoring. Been in the family since new!
