Hi John,
Caution is an apt word for this tube replacement task.
The attached pictures show the problems I'm going to experience changing the tube. Those "horns" are precariously close to the wooden board and also the metal adaptor plate which was made to mount the bowl of the shorter Cossor CRT. The final anode cap is comfortably clear of the board but as the second picture shows the evacuation pip is dangerously close to the woodwork, in fact a notch has been crudely nibbled out to clear the evacuation pip.
Modifications to the CRT mounting arrangement will have to be considered.
