Hi, how easy is it to source a replacement tube for a Bush TV32 (I should imagine impossible) and are there suitable replacements that may be used?

Those 14" rectangular CRTs are pretty rare. The original CRT used in your set was the the tetrode gun Mullard MW36-24. Suitable replacement tubes are the Mullard MW36-44, the Mazda CRM144, Emitron 14KP4, or, if you can find one the electrostatic gun AW36-20/21 could be considered. The focus magnet assy. will have to be removed in the case of the latter tubes.
