Thanks for the quick help and response.

The 17GP4 CRT is not all that common!
Also, RCA metal CRT sets are hard to convert to glass CRT's. The 17TP4 seems like a good alternative for the 17GP4. First thing, I would do is remove the 1V2 tube, so no mistake could be made. High focus voltage could easily damage a low volt focus CRT. Cut the lead to #6 terminal on the CRT socket and try it on chassis ground. Focus will probably be good.
