1958 Philco Predicta Full Dress Console

I have a 1958 Philco Predicta Full dress console tv. I restored the chassis and somehow my picture tube went bad. It developed a crack near the base and makes arcing noises. I guess from me recapping sections of the chassis, to plug it back in and try caused stress on the crt socket. Does anyone have a spare crt? Also, are there many of thse out there? Mine also has the UHF option on the side of the case. I know of one fellow collector that has a blonde set, without the uhf option. My crt cover on the back is also broken.

I'm sorry to read about your CRT No, there are not many of these out there. CRTs are hard to come by because of the high failure rate of the original SF21s and the popularity of Predicta TVs. 21FDP4 is the recommended replacement.
