It's probably the same tube used in the late generation 29" slot mask arcade monitors.

Considering the value of the larger professional studio monitors these days I expect someone will start buying up arcade machines with late generation 25" and 29" standard resolution and tri-sync monitors in them. Especially the ones that don't have significant burn-in. Then all a person has to do is construct a wooden cabinet and run wires to a control panel and power switch. Then re-sell it on ebay or craiglist. The boxed RGB monitor would probably be worth more these days than the working arcade game.

If you wanted to get fancy with it you could even do up the box to look like a floor model television and add in the requisite speakers, composite video decoders, etc. I don't think the lack of being aperture grille would be a big deal since any of those Pentranic, Betson, Wei-ya, etc that were made in the late 2000s would still look really great. And some of the older arcade monitors have a really coarse dot pitch and shadow mask that some users prefer.
