Very hard to set a fair price... I got mine from an ex Westinghouse engineer when I was helping him move (about 25 years ago)... It was *FREE* and included free delivery! Since, I have been told that the value *could* be in the range of a pre-war set!

After Westinghouse gave up on building the CRT they sold off some remaining stock cheap to Westinghouse employees and redesigned the set to take a 21 inch round tube (21CYP22) for the 1958 model year. Perhaps a similar mod could be accomplished, but what would be the point? The very interesting 22EP22 would be gone.
I would rather have the set non-working with the (RARE) original CRT than with a substitute (but working) CRT.
