Import Tips
• Document phosphor type (green/amber) and refresh rate specs to confirm CRT technology versus emulation displays
• Check for hazardous materials declarations due to CRT phosphor coatings and high-voltage components
• Avoid valuation pitfalls by separating terminal cost from any bundled emulation software licenses
