However, if you wish to swap the tube, the one in the newer set will probably work if the sockets are the same, the neck is the same size, and if they both mount the same. If you change CRT's, you may have to do a full purity, convergence, and greyscale set-up in order for the other tube to look right. If it were my set, I'd leave it alone (unless the old tube is going south).

I think you are right the 87's color was most likely the same as when it was new and because the tube looks just as fine as the 93's. I'll just leave the 87' TV alone then, it doesn't seem worth the time,effort and I probably don't have the tools; I guess I gotta get rid of the 93'. Thanks for the advice
