Interesting Tv from Luxor - 67 cm Toshiba tube?

Found this TV from swedish firm Luxor on Norwegian craigslist. Haven’t bought it (yet), but I am rather intrigued.
Made in the 80’s with a 67 cm Toshiba tube? 67 cm? Was that actually a thing?
Tube looks in great shape, so would be fun to see if it could be used in a Astro City with a yokeswap and MS9 chassis.

Tube is a Toshiba 670EGB22

Anybody got any experience with these kind of Toshiba tubes?

Even PAL SNES Looks great (50hz sucks)

Penny for your thoughts @nem

That tube is 63cm / 26" (not 67cm) so it would be too small for an Astro City.

63 cm would indeed be too small, but where did you find the info that the tube was 63 cm?

Sorry, I should have explained that better. The 670EGB22 uses the Japanese EIAJ designation system, where 670 refers to the faceplate diagonal of 670mm (67cm). The actual viewable screen diagonal is approximately 63cm (25").

So it's a 26" tube with a 25" viewable screen, rather than the 29" tube used in an Astro City.

This page explains the different CRT designation systems quite well:

I tried pairing one of these with a MS8-26 yoke. It was a bust. The deflection angles are different.

God I couldn't imagine using such a beautiful set for a swap.

Also 67

Mine came from a Salora which had a faulty chassis. Nothing to lose.
