Actually, there are a number of LCD "modules" that are good candidates.
These are basically LCD TVs and end up in planes, trains and automobiles

I've seen those efforts discussed. I think I'll pass on that operation
because it could truely be a destructive procedure. At least now, the
monitor works and just looks crappy. After blowing apart the CRT while
trying to peel the front off, I'd really be behind the curve :-)

Do you really have no old 12" monchrome portable TVs/monitors around? I
am sure you could find a CRT that would work.
No... there was a dark period in my life when I decided to get rid of all
that stuff... even had a Zenith ZVM-1240 monitor (and of course the Z100
to go with it!) which I gave away.

Wouldn't that have been a good replacement?
Repair of the
unit after the LCD was swapped in would be by replacing

Assuming you could get one.... I can see you having the same problem as
finding a replacement CRT now... I think what I
really need to do is just come to terms with looking
through the fog. The monitor works fine otherwise-- nice and bright
and no burn-in so the whole issue is strictly cosmetic.
I've never tried to remove and re-bond a faceplate, but I've heard others
have mamanged it.
