I've got several TP400 CRTs for my set as well. Will be interesting to find out if you see a huge difference between the new one and the two with darkened phosphor. None of mine is new, and they show varying degrees of darkened phosphor, although none quite as dark as the two you show. Somewhat to my surprise, however, all of my CRTs work about the same, regardless of how much darkening of the phosphor there is.

Curious what solution you'll find to fix up the front-surface trapezoidal mirror. Mine is OK, but could probably benefit from a better reflective surface.

Good luck with the set! This one has about as many capacitors to replace as a TV can have...
