These guys have a 69" B&W CRT!

Part: CE732M59P4GT

For $85 (!)

What's the chance of getting one of these to work in Space War? That'd be cool!

I know the HV supplies used in Cinematronics display were way overkill. There'd
be no problems with convergence, they're B&W. Hmmm....

That would be cool!

There is no datasheet online for the CRT. :^(

(69"!! Must be a typo or something...)
