Lessee...I've got a 6032 image tube I ordered from John J. Meshna a few years
back. They may still stock 'em -- IF they're still in business. I haven't
heard of them for a while. Anyone?

B&F aka BNF aka some other things used to stock such....

A surprising number of video image tubes are sensitive in the near...well,
VERY near infrared. You might drag your 8mm Vcam along and see if it serves.

I'm assuming you know the difference between IR tubes and light amplification
tubes. The IR types _do_require_ a source of infrared light to be effective,
whereas the LA tubes will let you see reasonably well under starlight. Now,
I assumed you knew that, so why'd I write it?
