I have one of the 21" test tubes, out of a jig I found. I probably should have kept it intact but considering it was basically a CTC-11 table model sans chassis, well, it was a real space hog! One of these days I may try buffing that glass-it looks to be in there pretty good. The tech I got it from had a story: early in his career he was able to buy a late model RCA roundie which had its crt busted by a moving company. He pulled this crt from his jig and used it for a few years until he could afford to buy a "real" one. He said it had some phosphor defects but was otherwise okay.
