I grabbed a 12 inch all glass CRT porthole, "Graemere" model, from Bob Anderson a while back. It's a single chassis, console model - think it's the 12LP4 CRT. I am NOT looking forward to trying to restore it, but it is one AWESOME looking set. Right now it is sitting patiently for me to acquire more experience and confidence in restoration before I tackle it. I did locate a NOS Merit flyback for it and have that tucked away too - just in case.

Worst part about this set is I cannot find a SAMS that has those great reference photos of the chassis in it. It is Zenith model G2346R, chassis 23G22. The only SAMS I can find for it (98-17) seems to show a totally different schematic with dual chassis and a 16 inch CRT. Even though my model and chassis number are listed on the SAMS it is not even close to my set.

I luckily do have the Zenith Service Manual for MY set, which at minimum just has the schematic. So I may have to work on this set with no reference photos that match my chassis, which will be tough for a guy with only a few years experience by the time I get around to this set.
