Makes me wonder if a new all-glass crt based on the later 21" tubes would be at all pracitical. It would be terribly expensive & I think that would kill it. Probably one of those things that would cost $10,000 per unit to cover the setup costs. And then it wouldn't be original.

The discussion of the adhesive is interesting. There are some amazing epoxies being made but I don't know how they work as far as heat. This may be a silly question, but I wonder if modern plastics have advanced to the point that a PLASTIC crt could be made? Thats kinda hard to imagine, I know. If it could somehow be done that would do quite a lot to reducing setup costs. That would have to be some tough plastic, though, wouldn't it?
