Westinghouse H22T155

That set uses a 22EP22 right? The rectangular one.

When there are few or no sales for comparison, it's hard to pin a price on something. You can do as realtors do, and look for "comps," i.e., values for similar items, but that's really guesswork.

The ETF page mentions that these tubes weren't the greatest (convergence problems). I wonder if that means that few were made? Before plunking down big bucks, I would try like heck to test this tube, and also do some investigation into what other tubes, if any, might be used as a sub. I'm not one of those people who enjoys owning non-working doorstops. If there's no way on Earth to make a set work, I don't want it at any price.

Just my $0.02.

Very hard to set a fair price... I got mine from an ex Westinghouse engineer when I was helping him move (about 25 years ago)... It was *FREE* and included free delivery! Since, I have been told that the value *could* be in the range of a pre-war set!

After Westinghouse gave up on building the CRT they sold off some remaining stock cheap to Westinghouse employees and redesigned the set to take a 21 inch round tube (21CYP22) for the 1958 model year. Perhaps a similar mod could be accomplished, but what would be the point? The very interesting 22EP22 would be gone.
I would rather have the set non-working with the (RARE) original CRT than with a substitute (but working) CRT.
