One other thing......could I just purchase a screen for another 61" TV and would it work? Is there a difference? If so what's the difference?

Replacement screens?
Hello folks, forgive me if I missed the answer to this elsewhere on this site, I did search but couldn't find the info I needed.
I've got an old Sony 61" kp61v15 that I've had since 1994 and it still runs like a champ, bright, near perfect convergence, etc. I did have to replace the convergence chip last year though, but I soldered it myself, so the cost was only $30 for the chips. Ok, so now the problem is I cracked the outer grooved screen during a move and Sony says they don't sell the part anymore(it was ~$300).
So my question is simple: Are there any aftermarket replacement screens for sale that could fit my tv and that I could do myself? I don't necessarily need a better screen than the stock one, but I don't want it to be worse either, I just don't wanna look at the dang cracks in it anymore!
Just to be clear, it's the outer flexible screen (NOT the magnifying plexiglass type one), with vertical lines+grooves in it.
TYI!
