Working on First GE Color

[jr_tech]

Wow! Great work, thanks for all the pictures!

The pix of The neck glowing did, however bring back a rather unpleasant memory, when the CRT in my avatar died.
Seeing the chassis hooked up to a 21" (fat neck) tube and producing a fair picture raises some questions.

1. Is there room inside that huge cabinet to actually mount the 21" jug up to the bezel in a somewhat normal position temporarily ?
2. Any possibility of a simple add-on convergence driver so that the magnetic convergence coils could be used in a set designed for electrostatic convergence?

Not to suggest something that some might consider as egregious as fish-tanking on a super rare set, but seeing this chassis operating with the 21" jug suggests some interesting possibilities.

I've wondered about this but never read a solid response. Roundies could be used with later rectangular test jigs, right? Should be plenty of room to fit something in there, though producing a correct picture might be very difficult.

An interesting thought.
The 15GP22 appears to be mounted on a sub-board with bolts. Another sub-board with a 21 could perhaps be dropped in temporarily - without harming any of the cosmetics or construction - until 15GP22 situation resolved.
