Here's the 8T241 chassis running a 5" test CRT. I also replaced C76 and C77 in the grid circuit of the Vertical Output tube because they showed marginal test results on the Sprague TO-4. Replacing those caps made it easier to get good linearity and sufficient height at the same time, which was a little tricky with the old caps.
About the pre-war replica sets, they'll probably have a modern TV chassis inside simply because I doubt that some of the more exotic parts would be available. If I could afford to make my own parts, I'd definitely love to put a line of replicas into production with all-tube chassis' and RF-type HV supplies disguised in shells that resemble the old "killer" HVT's.
