Aha, glad you mentioned that - I know that the stuff that I have
immediately to hand has a vinegar-like smell.
Question is, once it's all thoroughly dry, what would be the most
appropriate way of re-sealing everything? Would silicone sealant perhaps do
the job (dispensing with the top layer of the sandwich entirely and just
coating the bottom layer/traces) and stand up to the HV OK? Or some form
of glue?
Firslty, some silicone sealants cure by eliminating ethanoic (acetic) acid (they smell
like vinegar) which is probably a very bad idea here. Secondly, HV finds a way to leak if it possibly can
;-)
Indeed!
I would try to re-make the 'sandwich'.
Yes, I'd certainly like to look at that route first - mainly because I
think soldering new wires might be problematic. In response to your other
message, there's no way to attach any kind of heat shunt; the connections
at the CRT side protrude maybe 2mm at most. Perhaps heating the entire CRT
in a oven would be helpful if it comes to it.
Do you have any idea as to the voltage involved?
No, but it's a small screen - 5" diagonal or so. I did find a service
manual for a 1330 display, which appears to be a very similar animal but
without the storage functionality, and that operates at ~ 3kV.
