Hey all, I have a question about this type of picture tube (16AP4). This is a 16" round tube with a metal bell. The 12kv high voltage connects to the metal bell of this tube and is supported by 4 insulated grips screwed to the inside of the cabinet. One has a contact that feeds the HV into the tube. Im not really fond of this, but since this tube very low, almost flat, I wondered of anyone knew if this could be replaced with an all glass tube or had any experiance/ advice about this type of tube? Never dealt with one of these before.

Many thanks!
