I've never tried it, but it's my understanding the 12QP4 is a drop in substitute. Others will require you to cut off the anode connector and install a different type. The longer CRTs might not fit in the cabinet with the back on or require you to move the focus coil/yoke assembly further back.
The Princess, Debutante and Siesta have a 17" screen. Holiday, Pedestal and Tandem are 21"
If you need a 21", you are much, much better off with a 21FDP4 (or equivalent) than the original, flawed 21EAP4.
