CRT portability
Posted by: leonk on 2020-05-15 20:30:48
Recently acquired an SE/30 and in process of restoration. The computer had only 1 owner and was well loved; hence used for long time as can be seen by faint burn in CRT. 
 

I know there are a lot of dead units out there but might have good CRTs. What other macs can an SE/30 borrow a new CRT tube from? Any?

looks like you can borrow from 128/512, Plus, SE, SE/30, and some classics.
