Just what we all need mid winter: something to make us look forward to our summer TV repair work. It will go live in 30 minutes from this post.

Nice place to work on videos there Tom! Mr. C. does cateracts is a great sideshow for any TV restoration, giving me confidence to do some rectangular Zeniths.
You just need noisy air traffic, sirens and sauntering cats!
I liked most that 21" roundie you threw in there. My easiest 21" was the stored in barn RCA 'FJP using the hazy gray S.G. that fell off, but I'm all for worst case scenarios. An RCA 'FJP' in a 66 GE CB-21 was not good ju-ju, leaving a 5"x5"SG piece in the center that I had to coax off with an aquarium mat heater (30 watts for reptiles' radiant comfort). This was the ONLY way without using a heat gun or a targeted radiant heater, risking hot spots on the CRT envelope itself. It was also COLD in my barn when I did it.
The 23EGP22 I have to do is a C-M rebuilt ca. 1973, looks like RCA PVA. If it doesn't grenade itself and me with it, and I'm leaving mounting bands on, the video would be a good complement to yours.
P.S. I will schedule on a 90+ degree sunny day, make wedges of softer cedar and use safety gear. This last item to quiet protests of onlookers and make them stand back if they get too close
. In SE PA, such a hot one arrives before memorial day, bet on it
