Not necessarily. I've seen ADM 3A terminals that are perfect (I have a
couple) and I've seen some that are terrible (I have a couple).
At any rate, this problem has always been described by speculation and no
hard data. It's time we got some real answeres because if this damage can
be halted and prevented in the first place then I'd like to know how and
why it happens.

Hmm. I've never seen it on one. I expect that the source of the device
and where/how they were stored makes a big difference. On Mon, 2005-04-18 at 15:40 -0700, Vintage

Another product where you see this effect consistently is with ADM 3A
terminals. The HP300 at the Computer History Museum has the
same "mold" effects, as
does a 2648 I've got in my warehouse. HP CRTs (especially the elongated
ones found on the mentioned machines) seem to be more typically
susceptible to this effect than other CRTs. I wonder what it is about
them?
Yep, I've not seen it on much else. Digico springs to mind, plus a
couple of others that we have whose names escape me right now - but it's
almost exclusively the HP stuff.
