Looking at the datasheet for the CRT, it calls for a "dual field" ion trap, not a single.
Is running the tube with the single magnet trap going to cause an issue with ion burn? Can anyone recommend a source for a dual magnet ion trap, or have an extra they are willing to sell?

All the 16WP4's I seen used a single magnet ion trap.
Even the Philco made 12LP4 used a single magnet ion trap. When I put the tube in storage, I put the trap on to prove it's the proper one.
