Does anyone (a) know where I can get a Magic Eye tube (if they are even still
made), and (b) have information on how to use them (required voltages, etc.)?

Believe it or not, I want to use this "stab from the past" to indicate
CPU usage on a computer -- I specifically wanted something disturbingly
anachronistic (a meter came in second place...).
