Anything but a 20 sized tube would require that the mounting harness be 'modified' to accept a larger tube. Not all that simple most of the time. Just my 2 cents. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

Hey Gary thanks for reaching out. Well received my used CRT from the Early television museum about a week ago and getting ready to bring the set out and start working on her. Quite the journey to find and get the CRT but its here and I cannot wait to get going on this!  Long overdue!
