I believe the Emiscope 3/1 and 3/2 tubes were still available from the EMI service department as late as 1960/61.
Ex Comecon countries CRT 17LK18 can be fitted in these 7" sets. It's been done.
The fact that these pre-war Emiscope tubes were made with Pyrex hard glass might scare off any potential CRT rebuilders.
