Source for new CRTs??

Be careful not to use a Zenith CRT made between 1993 and 1994, even if it's new old stock. Those were bad years for that particular 27" CRT and it WILL fail after a year or two and damage the chassis with it. Later ones were't much better, but at least they seemed to mostly cure the shorting guns that damaged the power supply.

The best would be a NOS, or good used one from 1992 older. It probably has an A68ACT00X, which was Zenith's first 27" CRT and was used from about 1985-1994 or so.
