Or, you could go for aluminization and bent gun. Some other CRTs were done that way for increased brightness, such as the 12LP4C. It still required a double field magnet.
The lower cathode current might mean longer life. Especially for a larger CRT like the 20BP4. Given the expense of rebuilding one that might be desirable.
