Impressive! that chassis is a beast! Is the circuitry much different from the CT100, or did Westinghouse not get innovative?
I assume the chassis is copper, like my h22t155, or is that rust?
I have seen drying patterns in some early kasil settled phosphor tubes, but not rings like that... could that be a moire pattern perhaps generated by poor contact of the silk screen during the screening of one of the phosphor colors? Seems likely that RCA would sell less than perfect tubes to competitors.
Perhaps the getter above the blue gun was the first one flashed after "pinch off", in a fairly poor vacuum.
Looks like a very fun project.
