I've popped the backs of the CRTs on two of my last three SE/30s. That didn't matter when one of my boards was dead but now I have a working unit... up to and excluding the monitor.
I titled the thread this way because I don't know how cross-compatible the CRTs are. As I noted below, I'm pretty sure the SE and SE/30 monitors are compatible (even regardless of whether they used Clinton or Samsung).
A) I've been thinking of scouting non-working compact macs specifically for salvage (since typically when broken to the lay person it's not a CRT issue - or at least that's my impression).
B) There's also been a flurry of junked CRTs but they normally aren't 9" B&W, and it's a gamble buying a random one on the hopes the Yoke/Graphics Board/Analog Board will properly drive everything.
C) I searched the product number - this is concerning the Samsung CRT, although I believe the Clinton monitors used in the SE should also work and I have sort of interchanged stuff (though with a compatible Clinton monitor from a Compaq).
Anyone have any great ideas?
