Close, but no cigar!
Those Motorola's used a 17TP4, Electrostatic focus CRT.
Several years ago, I picked up a small console Motorola with a bad 17TP4.
I installed a 17CP4 and made up mounting brackets for a PM focalizer, out of pipe strapping. The set wasn't worth much, anyway.
I hated metal cone CRT's, as they were hard to sub with a glass tube.
