I was mistaken when I wrote I thought mabe Pompano. It's like northwest Fort Lauderdale area: Kennedy Electronics 1246 East Oakland Park Boulevard, Oakland Park, FL(954) 565-0123 ‎
His building say's: Car Radio Repair on one side but lists TV, VCR, etc. on other side. It is very small building and I bet he rarely does TV. I suspect he justs works there to kill time waitng for a high offer on his land as he likely owns the whole place. Prolly been there since the '60's. That is my guess.
In the interest of keeping his 21AXP from going to waste I warn all here that you should be careful in how you approach him. Use your best "getting along with ornery, old, loner TV men skills" or he may deny having it. I am sure all of you know the type of character I am describing very well. He was a total jerk to me at first but after chit-chat he became quite nice and after telling him about my rebuild of a 21FJP22 he mentioned he had a metal-coned 21" color tube. I keep forgetting if he mentioned it as specifically being a 21AXP22 or not as it was like 3 or 4 years ago and somebody blew a bunch of smoke in my face which had me not 100% of my usuall perceptive self. The overall impression I had was that he had the tube for a long time and it was likely saved for being a good tube/conversation piece. I doubt he mentions it to many people but logically the correct approach will get the facts of what it is and a possible sale.
Good Luck

Thanks again John.
Here is the shop's contact information.

Kennedy Electronics
1246 East Oakland Park Boulevard
Oakland Park, FL
(954) 565-0123

I gave the shop a call at 5:20 P.M., but it went straight to an answering machine. I left him a pretty generic message that said I was searching for color CRTs from the '50s and '60s. Also, I said I'd give him a call next week, if I did not hear from him before then. I'll let you know what he says, later. I hope he has a warehouse full.
