Buy High Voltage Electron Guns Up to 40kV - Expert Advice

In summary, the conversation is about someone seeking advice on where to buy high voltage electron guns up to 40kV. One person suggests buying a TV tube and removing the gun, while another recommends a specific company that sells 1-100 keV guns. The original person expresses interest in the cheaper option.

Hi folks,

In need of some advice.

Can anyone recommend any companies selling high voltage electron guns up to 40kV?

Thanks!

I should have thought the cheapest way to go about getting an electron gun would be to buy a TV tube (even a scrap one) and remove the gun from it. If you are after an electron gun, it must be assumed that you have a high vacuum manufacturing facility for mounting it in whatever electron beam tube you are planning to make. Are you sure this is what you want?

can't personally recommend it but it rang a bell so I thought I'd post it

Looks like well expensive pieces of kit. I was thinking of the 'crud end of the market' solution!
