Not sure Nick. It has a genuine 21CY metal shroud and some clips that hold the crt in place that do not look home brew, so I would guess it is a factory conversion kit. I don't know why a dealer would change the crt type back in the day. Plenty of 21AX new and rebuilt crt's were available back then. So there was no rational reason to upgrade to the all glass CY tube. In any event I already have a buyer for this bastardized set and it will be leaving my stable on Thursday.

I got a good 10BP4 and a GE 17BP4 that is like new out of the other sets in the lot with the CTC5. The 17BP4 tests 1000 on my B&K crt tester. It is a newer aluminized version with the straight gun. Both crt's are now in my crt hoard.
