For remounting, I'm thinking about the approach
used by the guy who did the seven-part miniseries on YouTube. Given your experience (i.e.
since you've seen the tube "naked"), do you think it would be plausible to
use a double-sided adhesive around the edges, outside the visible area when the tube is
mounted? We have a PDP-12 (with a clean screen) and it looks to be the same size as the
9845's screen, so your observations should be relevant.
I used that same series of videos to restore a ADM-3A terminal a couple years ago. It
wasn't difficult to perform (it took less than an hour from start to finish).
I posted some photos/info on the process on my blog at the time as well.
