Well, no, the problem with these CRT's is that they
have a RTV-like implosion shield between the front of
the tube and another layer of glass. Over time, the
RTV develops a mold from the edges in and the tube
looks horrible and becomes unusable. I worked up the
guts to cut between the tube and the plate with a
nichrome wire. Not recommended for the sane. I
replaced the shield with aquarium RTV at the edges.
The tube works very well now.

would be-they are very common. But they even had
CRT
spares for my HP2644A (8008 based terminal-for
$250.00! But I (physically) rebuilt that tube
myself.
You mean you opened it up, replaced the
cathode/heater (about the only
part that failes), reassembled it, pumped it down,
baked it out, etc?
How? This is something I've never had the courage to
try, and I don't
have the necessary equipment -- yet!
