I want to pick up at least one spare CRT in case something ever goes amiss, now that I've been reminded that CRTs in general are no longer being produced. I kinda knew that, but just didn't think about it, and what I don't want is to someday have to replace it and find out — there just aren't any.

But I'm not sure what to get on eBay. I know what the CRTs and connectors look like from all the SEs and SE/30s I've pulled, but there are some that I'm finding that hav ea very different connector.

This was pulled from a Plus. I have several donor tube connectors like the one below. Is it safe to assume any of these CRTs will work, provided I have a spare tub connection? I'm assuming that the one in the photo above will not work, because it's designed for a Plus.
