What size crt is in that safari ?

I searched and found several sources that disagreed on whether it was 1 inch or 2 inch.

According to Sam's it uses a 2EP4. I have a spare safari magnifying mirror optics and CRT bezel and could measure when I get home... if I can find a color CRT that size or slightly bigger I'd kinda like to build a color safari out of those optics.

Without taking the optical system off for direct measurement, my tube appears to be 2 inches.
