I paid exactly the same for my 1953 Philco ten years ago and I knew it had a weak CRT, I bought it because it was really clean and I knew it would wind up a Fish Tank if I didn't.
I got it all working though and don't regret buying it one bit!

The CRT size upgrade is kind of interesting actually, is it a Factory kit or home brewed?
I dunno about the upgrade. If it is homebrew they did a pretty neat job of it. The main giveaway is that the crt comes out the front enough that there's a gap in the middle of the mask on all 4 sides you can stick your finger under. It is flush at the corners and is screwed to the cabinet with a screw at each corner.Doesn't look bad at all.
