What kind of mold is this anyway? And
A lot of the older HP stuff seems to be prone
to it. I've had 9835s and
9845s with the same problem. I have an old TV that has the same problem but
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.
This does raise an interesting point: why are some CRTs susceptible and
not others? Poor quality control? what the hell is it feeding on? Based on what I know
makes up a CRT, it
must be some mutant radioactive strain of mold that is probably not to be
trifled with.
Perhaps that's why we haven't seen Steve on the list for awhile! :-/
