Aside from the extra pin for the focusing electrode it seems like it would work... Anyone have any idea if this would work?

Just being curious about the subsitution. I don't see a 8KP4 in my RCA or GE tube manual. Is there a manufacturers name on the CRT. If removed from a scrap set, what make of set is it? How did you test it? Just wondering.
