Extender cables would be handy, although not super-easy.

Two of the three cables would be do-able. The yoke connector is 9-pin, roughly the size of an octal socket with a ninth pin near the center. A second cable goes to the HV power chassis with a 4-pin connector. I don't have such connectors on hand, but I suppose you could scrounge them somewhere.

The CRT cable looks tricky. It uses a funky 5-pin connector of a type I haven't seen before. The cup has terminals on the inside and it slides over the butt end of the CRT, which has little metal tabs around its edge.



Weird,wild stuff, as Johnny Carson used to say.

You wouldn't need an extender for the HV cable to the CRT second anode, since that doesn't come from the main chassis. It only goes between the two boxes of the Protelgram unit (HV power chassis and optical box holding the CRT).
