GREAT find! I'm going to dig up an old subject since you have such a clear shot of the untouched electron gun and ion trap. I have an ugly 8T-243 with the same chassis and a year or so ago I was trying to find out what the correct ion trap was. Mine had a single magnet laying on the chassis when I got it. Your set seems to have a single magnet. The specs call for a "double field". I could get a bright raster with the single magnet pulled all the way back to the tube base, which is incorrect positioning. Somebody was kind enough to send me a magnet which looks like two magnets side by side with a bridge in between. I have seen another type that looks single but has kind of a double stack of magnets.
Anyways I can get a raster with both but I have never felt sure about the setup. Some good people here helped out but seeing your set and others with a different looking magnet gives me doubts. I'm funny about the thought of burning a good 10bp4...
The reason I call my RCA "ugly" is due to the fact that it has a rectangular crt border as opposed to a cool double-d design. Just my luck....
