Thank you all for the nice comments. I do know that the "retrofit" will be a bunch of work, and my main goal will be to do it without modifying the cabinet itself (and, first, I also have to get the cabinet back to its original configuration, too).
I already possess the 8-T-241, unrestored and in a poor cabinet, so that is why I picked it. Using another RCA for the replacement seemed to be a good idea to me, too, and I confirmed that its yoke is the same one that was used on a later 12-inch RCA set, the T-120.
Depending on how hard I want to work on this, I will consider moving the components of the 8-T-241 chassis onto a new metal chassis the size/shape of the original TRK-120 chassis, but I do not know if this is even feasible. None of this is going to happen quickly, in any case, so I will take plenty of time to do a decent job of whatever works best.
