I think they used high lead glass, also could take 35KV safely.
I dont think the CRT adapter was anything special, pretty sure
we replaced it once with a plain adapter. You could make a crude
jig with a early SS set with a 30kv tube. Just use the
ends of the yoke windings. Size may be way off so if you are
working on a size prob. mark the screen & look for the change
you want. Also be sure you are not stressing anything. If you
do a SS set be EXTRA careful !!

Another thing we often did was use a big rectangle roll cart.
Straddle the set so there is a few feet behind it for the chassis.
Make or buy extenders, remember you only need CRT, yoke,
HV & a damn good ground. We also had two other carts with a
scope, analyst & power-rites. Made for very easy & fast repairs..........
Anything else ?
