Biggest oscilloscope tube

This isn't a complete oscilloscope, but the largest electrostatic deflection CRT I know of was the HP 1321A 21" XYZ monitor.

I've never seen an electrostatic type CRT that large. How deep was it?
thanks!

The cabinet was 25" deep. It only has 5MHz bandwidth so it could have a fairly wide deflection angle.

DuMont made a small number of classroom demonstrator scopes with a 20" electrostatic CRT. They used a green phosphor (P1) version of their 20AP4 television CRT:

If anything, the deeper the tube and the smaller the surface (small deflection angle), the higher the bandwidth. See this description of a 13 GHz scan convertor CRT which was over 3 meters deep. So a CRT with big surface area would make for a low bandwidth scope.
