Ok, now it gets slicky ... Tony, you're maybe one of the few
that can somehow proof me wrong, but I doubt that anybody
will come around with a homegrown 14" B/W CRT to replace a
damaged for any 1970s terminal I have, nor with any colour
CRT, not even a rather rough one like used in the IIgs colour
screen.
I don't doubt that it's possible with home grown development
and tools to build a diplay tuge able to show of something,
but from there, until todays CRTs is quite some way.
