First off -- can somebody explain the common problem
with the
monitors going dim? Can I fix it? (How?) Is there an internal
"intensity" pot that I can adjust to get more life out of the
monitor? It is just bright enough not to strain your eyes at
the highest brightness setting right now... (It's B&W)
I have always assumed that the electrons just kick the sh*t
out of the phosphor, and the the phosphor just dies... but I
hope that's wrong, and that something can indeed be adjusted
or replaced (other than the daggone tube itself).
