As an aside, the original monitor for the TRS-80 model 1 was an RCA portable TV with the tuner and IF board removed and a video input board fitted. The service manual for it is mostly pages from the RCA manual along with a circuit diagram for the video input board. Anyway, it refers to the CRT as a 'kinescope', shortened to 'kine' (for example the parts list might include 'bracket, kine mounting')
