Even if this was true, there would be a place in the hardware where

But apparently its not true, so we don't need to worry about that :-).
Does anyone know of a source for these kinds of round CRT tubes?
The SAGE console also used round vector CRT tubes (although they look
like they are much larger diameter tubes than what's in the CDC console)
and it would be nice to find a modern supplier for these sorts of
tubes.
The CDC console is another one that looks like it would be nice to
have as a working replica.

Does anyone
have one of these in an operating condition?
An apocryphal story I heard was that the graphics on the display are
disk/?drum refreshed. If true, I assume you would need the better part
of a CDC 6x00 to get anything out of it.
