That GE monitor is commercial gear with a mil-spec heritage IMO.

At the ETF museum a few years ago, when I first saw that GE color monitor linked in Steve's post above, it swept me back to the very early '60s and troubleshooting mill-spec tube-based CRT monitors.

Mil-spec back then meant components designed, manufactured, and tested to mil specs, that were soldered by hand, to mil specs, with mil spec terminal board construction, where every wire got terminated with a service loop that allowed it to be terminated three times over, and enough cooling so that it ran just warm to the touch, including most tubes.
