Yes, and very rustic / retro.

And if it indeed has a GOOD intact 21axp22a, then that's a very rare / lucky find!

the specs say it came with an AXP, which is a metal cone crt, but it can be converted with some degree of difficulty.

Congrats on getting that oddball set Dave. I don't see any pictures here either, but I remember it from Facebook.

What's so odd about a good 21AXP22?.... I've got 8 TVs thusly equipped, and a good spare. Granted I have seen 3-4 AXPs that were unusably gassy/down to air (one of which due to necking).

They're not as failure prone as a 15G, but also slightly worse than an all glass tube...I've seen /had ~3 all glass color roundys go gassy too but the sample group for those is bigger.
