It turned out to be a 16Z7C50 chassis. The thing must've been kind of a gem because there was only three circuit tubes and the yoke changed in it's entire lifetime. All the sweep tubes were original.
The original CRT was a different story! The only gun that had a good reading was the red gun. The green didn't have a reading at all and the blue barely moved the needle. I rejuvenated the low guns, but the green is still too low to produce a watchable picture. Too bad, as there is no cataracts or yellow halo.
