Beam-penetration color CRT, Tektronix DAS 912x (was Re: Nice LAB11 brochure.)

[Pete Lancashire]

Actually the CRT was built for Tek. but since is was a custom it can
be though of as a Tek CRT. I'm not sure about the monitory assembly,
sometime this year I maybe able to get the full specs on the CRT if
anyone is interested.
