What is "screen rot" defined as in this case?
It seems that some adhesives used to bind the implosion protection sheet
over the face of the CRT decompose and/or have mold grow on them (or
something along those lines) over time. Some people have had good luck
repairing them. I have a few in that state, but haven't attempted a repair yet.
Ahhh. Seems like it'd be fairly repairable with enough care if that's the
case/you're extremely determined.
Every VR201 I've seen in the past few years has
had the "screen
rot" problem. :-(
Screen rot is repairable, at least in many cases (I do not
know about the VR201 specifically). So even with screen rot, I'd still
like to find one! -Dave
