that "phosphor screen burn" on a CRT
can be fixed by a
strong exposure to sunlight?
That sounds too bizarre - I would expect that strong
exposure to the
sun would simply fade the phosphors even more...

back to test - can't hurt!)
The sun isn't so strong this time of year. Where I
live anyway. And has anyone noticed how hot the face
of a tube gets if it's allowed to sit in the sun?
There was this outfit near Philadelphia who would
take your tube, cut the neck off, then presum-ably
"weld" a new front on. I can't remember their name (or
if they're even still around) but my guess was it
couldn't have been cheap. I'd like to try it, but I
doubt my Rigid shop vac could pull enough inches of
mercury :(
