getting them working would be the ultimate hackaday project. ;D
even if you don't need such a large imaging area now, it's nice to have it available if you ever do.
i think your 35kv x-ray source will be your primary limiting factor though.
at least at the hospital nearby the problems they seem to have with these mostly stems from the batteries. they are designed to take a lot of abuse from clumsy technicians.
Fraser:
I do have a nice Gendex Oralix 60 Dental X-Ray head but the is not supposed to illuminate such a large area. It has 60KVp on the tube.
To be honest I am not that interested in large target X-Ray imaging. All my needs are met by the little Faxitron MX-20 120mm x 120mm digital plate.
If I get one running I suspect I would just move it on to someone who has a use for such a plate. I may just move them on as 'projects' as my spare time is very limited for such a project.

TerraHertz:
This will probably sound stupid, but, is there some kind of X-ray shield plate between the sensor sheet and the electronics behind it?
Or are the expected X-ray intensities too low to have any effect on the electronics, flash memories, etc?
[ Edit: ha ha, otoh, maybe putting firmware in unshielded flash in an X-ray imaging device is a new kind of planned obsolescence? ]
I hope you or someone can get them working. For one thing, you could take X-ray shots of larger bits of electronics like laptops, phones, tablets, etc.
LCD screens even, which seems pretty funny considering these look like LCD screens (with blank faces.)
Sorry to hear of your loss.
