Update - I picked up the rebuilt 21FJP22 over the weekend. Now taking a good look at how I might mount it. It's less a question of knowing what I might want to do and more of how I can do it myself with nothing in the way of shop tools. I would not like to do it the way Tom did for a couple of reasons:
- The existing yoke mount is part of the poly cone in the CTC-5, not metal like Tom's pix;
- The example pix I have of a CTC-5 with factory kit show a metal shroud that is near the face of the tube and therefore away from the HV connector.

The shroud, which apparently is what holds the tube to the bezel, has four metal tabs that are screwed to the existing mount points for the 21AX, so the tie rods are not needed. It also has the yoke supported by the neck of the tube, so it seems the support by the cone is not needed. I tried the yoke on the 21FB neck, and while it's slightly loose, it seems like a small bit of shimming will fix that.

Now my problem is to figure out how I can fabricate the equivalent of that mounting kit.

Of course, if a good 21AXP22A would show up.....
