Has anyone here ever used a vintage crt in a more modern set?

I think the biggest challenges would be dealing with the yoke and flyback. Let's say you wanted to run a 10BP4 with an 80s 12" bw chassis. You would run into things that are way over my head, dealing with deflection angles for one. In the 50s there were companies who catered to folks wanting to install bigger, more modern crts in their early 10" sets and that would have involved various circuit mods. It would take an engineer to do it right, I guess. I can think of some members here that could do it, I bet. Note that most early solid state sets used the same crts as tube based, in the late 60s and early 70s.
