That was a cheaper type tube than most, but decent. The better tubes had an extra letter in the number, with the best of all (imho) being the Phillips 23VCGP22 black matrix+black glass. The 25XP22 was probably the lousiest.

I just looked through some of my records and noticed that I also replaced alot of 25XP tubes.
I have a couple of 25AP tubes on hand. One is NOS Zenith from 1970, and the other is a gently used Magnavox. They tested good about 2 years ago on my tester. Neither has cataract problems.

We too replaced a lot of 25AP and 25XP CRTs in the 70's/80's- but they were run to death by the owners. That said, I sold a bunch of Channel Master 23VAL/VAT universal replacements as well. Those, and 23VCZ tubes along with the pencil neck bonded yoke tubes sold well.
Sad to see those times gone... Cheers,
