I'm still trying to decide what to do with this thing, point #1, 24AHP4 is weak but not dead, and still gives a decent picture, surprisingly, but there is no telling how long it will last, with limited use, could be months or even longer, a year or more, no way to know.
Once I have the chassis all patched, I intend to build SOME KIND of wood cabinet to fit all it in even knowing the tube may fail some day, even if it does, ETF has several compatible 23 inch tubes that I can fall back on in the event the 24AHP4 does croak.
I already have a rough idea what the final project will look like, which comes to the other thing that I'm on the fence about, tuner or no tuner, since I have already established that IF is working, RF input is an option, however, the tuners to be found on eBay are just tuners only, where as they can probably be made to work, and adjusted to ACG and all that, they come with no knobs/ dials/ channel indicators, all that would have to be found, granted, once tuned, they will almost never be set again, or almost never, but finding the right ones that fit/ work and are aesthetically pleasing will be tricky, vs just going with direct A/V input.
