Yes, I guess you missed my earlier post? Admiral may have been the only maker to use this CRT. Likely few folks would have dropped the cash to replace the picture tube in these little portables so not many were made.
On the plus side these are relatively common and small enough shipping is feasible.
It's not that hard to line up and slide on a base with only 5 or 6 pins. I've done it a few times. I've only needed extension wires for 14 pin 7JP4s.
I've also files away glass to repair a broken off lead. Nerve wracking but not impossible
