Yeah, well, Tom Uban has located a rebuilder that does do exactly what I
described, at a very
high price, with no garuntee they won't destroy the tube in the process.
BTW, the CRT on HP terminals is VERY unique, it has an unsusal aspect
ration, which also means
that it has a rather unusual deflection asseembly. The tube is about 3
times wider than it is tall!

CRT's are in better shape.
The CRT rebuilders I've come across can replace the electron gun assembly
(and sometimes rebuild the gun if a replacement is unavailable), but they
can't generally do much with the screen or glass envelope. There may be
people who can rebond a bonded faceplate, but if so they are very few and
far between.
