[sci.electronics] DEC Picture tube

  We have a couple of broken DECStations around, broken beyond repair.
However, I think it's rather unlikely that the picture tube is damaged.

  So, is it possible to remove the tube from the DECStation, and drop
it into a normal monitor (or vice versa, that is, put the electronics
from a "normal" monitor into the station), so that I can put those
nice 20" monitor to work again?

  I mean, I have a helluva respect from high voltages and all that
stuff that lurks around TVs and monitors -- is it safe to just remove
a tube from one device, and replace it by another one (not the same
type, but larger).
