Terminal Buffs and others interested:
I've seen screen rot before -- even owning one with perimeter
symptoms, but this is an example of _extreme_ "screen rot" (separation
of the protective plate from the CRT) on an ADM-3a.
That's about how bad the one on the HP-250 display was that I 'attacked'.
I'm unsure if we've ever come to the
conclusion if this is just an
adhesion separation issue resulting in blotches resembling mold, or
actual mold causing the separation. (Have we had some sort of cause
for this problem?)
I believe Sellam still has an offer open to analyse the decay if someone can
send him a sample - I'd already ditched the pile of rot from the HP-250 by
that point.
