He said I could come by Saturday to look at the TV, but he wants me to bid on it first. So, I guess it's gonna cost me a buck to find out what CRT the set uses!

Sams #139 shows these as available tubes for the open-face console with 242 chassis:
16AP4
16RP4 (rect or round???)
17BP4 (rect.)
19AP4
20DP4
Knowing that Kaye-Halbert was a semi-custom factory, you could also order alterations. I've seen a few with 27" tube, and heard of one with a 24" round tube (shown in the 1951-52 brochure, but not in the Sams for the same sets).
I have the factory engineering and service manuals on that set, so when I get back to LA, I'll look into it if this thread is still hot.
A note of interest: The Kaye-Halbert Cambridge in my avatar (left) has a 21" tube installed where a 20CP4 was originally. That set is a '52 with a 253 chassis (non-DX version).
