or have looked it up to see if they are compatible..... I was just there, had to
make the decision to get it or go home and regret it later on..... It has that same
white HV wire attached to the tube..... A dedicated test tube ??

Anyway I know my metal sets have 14RP4's or 14RP4A's in them....

The sets you have are not GE's.
IIRC, the 14T types shown, were made for almost three years. They all used the 14QP4 CRT. I sure worked on a lot of them.
I have a late '57 14" GE set with a 110 degree CRT. Performance seemed to be a little better
