Hello Chris,
I saw this old post while searching for stuff related to the CPT Phoenix word processors.
I was an engineer at CPT Corp. from 1978 thru 1989 and helped design the CPT 8100, 8500,
9000, and Phoenix systems.
The original monitor that I have has burned-out and I am searching for a replacement. You
seem to have found/acquired the exact monitor that I have been looking for!
Would you care to sell the monitor, and keyboard too, to me? I would be most
appreciative. It would certainly find welcome home, back with one of its original
designers.
Best regards,
Rich Jones

Sorry I missed this, you only sent it to the list and I haven't looked at the list for
a while. I've actually just acquired a CPT Phoenix Jr. computer to go with my display
and keyboard, so I now have a full system that I'm planning to restore and use.
In what way has your display failed? If it's dim a CRT rejuvenator might do the trick.
And if it's just stopped working, it may just need a recap. I'd only give up on it
if the tube is necked or the yoke damaged and a new tube couldn't be sourced...
That said, do you have any boot, utility, or other disks archived that the rest of us
could use with a system?

I've set up a group at https://groups.io/g/cptphoenixjr for discussion and
preservation of the CPT Phoenix JR.
I've just posted a little bit about how I'm going about trying to get the ROM
booting in emulation as a way to figure out how the hardware is attached. Of course, if
you or anyone else has knowledge here, that'd make everything a lot easier than
working backwards from the ROM code and peripheral data sheets. :)
