According to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosph...phosphor_types it is a radar tube with blue phosphor with yellow persistence.
It would probably suck for TV usage. Maybe he wanted to build an oscilloscope or something.

Yeah, a 7BP7 would never be used in a TV.

If he also had a 621, the 7BP7, which uses magnetic deflection and focus, could be made to function in that set... a blue filter could be used to remove the yellow-green long persistence component, leaving a blue image, which might be semi-watchable. Since 7DP4s are fairly scarce, blue is better than nothing.
