I got out my Tektronix DAS 9129 logic analyzer

my other device with a beam penetration CRT, the HP 1338A (also
red/green/yellow) is a vector (X-Y) display.
I'm pleased to find that the 9129 passes self-test and the display
works. Unfortunately I do not have any logic analyzer acquisition or
pattern generator modules for it, so other than admiring the pretty
display, it's only useful as a boat anchor.
There is a LOT of Tek logic analyzer gear on eBay. Some of
it goes fairly cheap, the older it is the cheaper.
You can likely find the right acq modules within a month.
The 91xx is REALLY old, too, so should cost more to ship the
modules than the price for the units themselves.
