A lot of the older HP stuff seems to be prone to it. I've had 9835s and

other than that I seldom see it. I wonder if the HP stuff is prone to that
or if other brand items just never last long enough to develope that
problem. FWIW I have HP scopes that date to the late '60s and early '70s
but I've never seen it on them.

I suspect that it is more a function of who produced the tube. I
have a DEC VR201 that also has the same problem.

I've never seen it, but I heard about it. Apparently these are famous
for it (for some reason). I don't know what the solution is (if there
is one).
