It changed the tracking of the tube to move the monochrome picture from a sepia to a bluish screen (w/B&W in the middle) much like the computer monitors do now. The reds were OK in the EG but not as nice as the sulphide 21FB's of the time.
Today you are really hard pressed to find any example of a 23EGP22 complete set. They are very rare because they disappeared quickly from time of manufacture. Their CRT's were a disaster on top of a very short life span with fewer that were converted to a 25XP22. It took me 15 years to find a nice one for my collection. I don't know if it has any emission until I get other projects out of the way but I will need all the luck I can get.

Julian, If your 23EG is no good you might try looking here....
