16WP4A ion trap?

Working on a Philco 51-T1634 with a 16WP4A CRT. The set came to me after having been played around with (several tubes in wrong sockets, etc). It came with a single magnet ion trap, and it makes a good image with it (trap location is about as close to the tube base as possible). Looking at the datasheet for the CRT, it calls for a "dual field" ion trap, not a single.

Is running the tube with the single magnet trap going to cause an issue with ion burn? Can anyone recommend a source for a dual magnet ion trap, or have an extra they are willing to sell?
