I got it all for free, as it was just a chassis and CRT from a set that someone made into a pet bed, It's a newer one than yours, but still uses a 24AHP4.

Yup. Until this spring you would have had my then biggest direct view set (23" Setchell Carlson School TV) beat. I believe there were 25, 27 and 30" built too, but the 30" Dumont Royal Sovereign was the biggest monochrome direct view ever. The Dumont is stupidly rare and heavy and on top of that it's hard to find one with a good CRT let alone a spare....So in spring I jumped on a 27" Muntz that the ETF had with a strong CRT in it. I think I paid something like $5 (they'd been trying to sell it for over a year) and unlike the Dumont I can actually move the damn thing myself.
It isn't my biggest monochrome picture though....at 5' diagonal the picture my Norelco protelgram duo-vue projector can throw onto a screen is fairly impressive...as well as dim.

Yeah, better than half my BTs have new caps...One of them had its bridge rectifier die during a lightning storm (which is weird because it and it's antenna are in the basement and there was a ton of other stuff plugged in and running that wasn't harmed).
Granted that hum bar isn't always caused by caps.... sometimes they're happier (read don't develop bars from hum loops) being ungrounded or even isolated from the grid...my main BT rack is powered by an isolation transformer and a PC in that rack is plugged in to an adapter that ungrounds the cord.
