Does anyone know of a source for these kinds of round
CRT tubes?
There certainly used to be companies that would rebuild dead CRTs for
collectors of old TVs -- earlytelevision.org mentions Clinton
Electronics, the sci.electronics.repair FAQ suggests Hawk-Eye Picture
Tube Mfg, and curtpalme.com do it for projector CRTs. It's expensive,
but it used to be a common process back in the 1960s, so the
techniques are well-understood.
If you've got non-working examples of the sort of tube you need,
perhaps it might be possible to have them rebuilt rather than trying
to replace them outright.
