Yeah, I've got a munged up Model 4 that I could pull the CRT out of (the CRT
works) but I'd rather not cut wires and resolder cuz I'd like to get the ol'
Model 4 fixed next. ;) I may pirate the CRT out of one of my old Qume q102
terminals just to get the 12 back on its feet. Thanks for the input though!

Cheers,
