The 22" tube is a rare one... Used in a few late 60s table model sets, and also in the RCA 22" consolettes and metal table models with a CTC-31. The other tube is Zenith's biggest blunder ever; the A63AAX42X. Those seem to have left the factory with a built-in short, which is designed to explode a few transistors in the TV. . When I'd get one of those 25" sets for repair in the 90s, I'd put an isolation transformer on the CRT immediately, even if the set came in for a broken antenna terminal.

Ah damn... I was half considering grabbing it for my 25" system 3..

Nope, looks like I'll pass on it.

Oh yeah it's probably a Delta gun CRT anyway.

the A63 tube would be inline, but isn't your System 3 an early 80's?
It would take a 25V tri-focus tube.
