I don't have a dud, I wonder if hawkeye has one so I dont have to spend extra just to find and send one. My crt is fine, but I also would like a spare.
How the heck to you reattache the anode to the crt? right now I just have an extenstion wire up to it for testing, I could not see how to get it back on without removing the shell (and is that difficult?).

Thanks, but it doesn't work - not even close
I gave up on it about a year ago. Since then I've picked up a spare chassis and CRT. I'll get back to it someday.
I used Rustoleum protective gloss enamel #7762 'sunrise red'. I don't think it's quite right though - maybe a touch darker like #7765 'regal red'
I did remove the shell. The only thing I had trouble with is removing the two little screws that hold the brass cover plate on. I've heard folks often have trouble with the spring that's underneath too.
That's a NOS 17DAP4 I picked up (my original CRT is fine too). I'm pretty sure it's a very good substitute for the original 17DRP4. You can get either one
here.
