I went by a second hand store last weekend and saw that they had a woodgrain Zenith TV from 1988 marked $5.15. I didn't have the time to do any research or inspection, but for $5, I figured I couldn't go too wrong.
I cracked it open today, and was pleased to find that the tube was a number-for-number match for the CRT in my Toobin', which needed to be replaced.
The yoke and rings on the donor TV were a weird 1-piece unit, so I had to swap everything off of the old tube. I threw the yoke and rings on and fired it up, and it took only about 20 seconds of adjustment to get an awesome picture. A good day!
For reference, the TV was a Zenith model SE1911W and the tube is a A48ACB02X.
