If the Italians can restore DaVinci's Last Supper fresco in Milan and justify it, this box o' bulbs can get the same. Go for it. The intellectual and historic end result is seeing the intent and accuracy of the artists work...not how it got there. Think of the glowing phosphors as the canvas of the fresco and the restored, tinted plaster as the chassis.

I think intent on the part of the inventors/designers applies here. Just think of how many changes they made to this particular chassis to get what they wanted. It was not a one and done effort. And there is no hope of picking one particular version of this set. They were all failures until it worked. It was an ongoing process to get the CRT to glow in color and that should be the same here and stop at that point.
