I was just reading the Lisa Hardware manual from 1982, and it mentions that the CRT is a P4 phosphor. So I suppose this is more like the designers intended?
I wonder when the switch to P7 happened.

~10 years ago I got a NOS Lisa spare CRT, and the date on the tube is from 1978! I wonder if they just pulled whatever the tube maker had on the shelf?

With NOS CRTs being available so cheaply, I'd be hard pressed to go through the work of installing a used one with unknown hours on it. But the point remains: 12" B&W CRTs are still readily available either new, or from other equipment. If your CRT is tired keep your eyes open for a replacement. In my opinion having a fresh, crisp crt makes the system much nicer to use.

Thanks,
