I realize it's fastened tightly, and in the YouTube video it has been removed, then
reattached afterwards. So *someone* has figured out how to do it. In my experience,
there's usually a turnbuckle on one side that can be loosened, then retightened for
reassembly. I didn't complete the disassembly of this monitor to determine that for
sure, however.

Subject: Re: HP screen screen rot
I was referring to holding the faceplate on the CRT, not supporting the CRT=
. I plan to replace the metal band, padding with e.g. strapping tape if ne=
cessary. Does that make more sense? - Ian
It wworries me, I can tell you that. That metal band is fixed ot the
glass, it's also deliverately very tight. Somehow it supports the screen
glass during an implosion, protectggn the viewer. It's not just a mouting
band for the CRT.
I don't think you'll be able to reattach it properly.
