I have managed to remove the outer screen on a couple of DEC VR201's =
that
had the blue spot rot. I sacrificed the outer screen and removed the =
soft
layer beneath. It's this layer that has the problem.
Breaking the glass sounds a bit drastic but there's no way to put it =
back.=20
The tube goes back in the case and you can re-site the rubber stand-offs =
to
maintain the gap that now exists around the face of the tube.=20
Are you sure that that faceplate and the 'soft layer' doens't act as a
support for broken glass in the event of an implosion. Certainly some CRT
data books imply otherwiese...
I would not want to use a VR201 that could implode in my face!
