What's wrong with the one that's in it?  Bad screenburn?  If it's gone low emission you may be able to borrow a "booster" from the oldest dustiest TV repair shop you can find...

It turned out that it has the plastic laminate. This is now starting to suffer from well known problem of "rot".

The CRT was new when I bought the unit, so I was very happy with it. Not so happy when I noticed the first signs of rot last night...
