Did you check the set's focus rectifier tube (1V2, 2AV2, etc.) and replace it with a known good tube? If this tube is defective or even just weak, it can throw the focus off by quite a bit.
No, it's a radar CRT not meant for use in any television. The base pinout is the same as a 7JP4 but it has an additional acceleration anode on the side. I hacked it into a Motorola VT71 just to see if I could get anything on the screen.
