I just got a nice Mac Classic II, but it has a 1 1/2 " (inch!) scratch
in the front of
the CRT. I can't tell how deep the scratch is, but a finger nail
catches there.
Does anyone know what can be done to fix a bad scratch like that?
Am I in any real danger of the CRT imploding?
Someone suggested toothpaste (the white kind) any comments?

There is something to fill in chips in glass car windshields, try finding
that.

I would use the same stuff the windshield folks use.
Am I in any real danger of the CRT imploding?
No, a scratch like that is pretty harmless. The safety glass on modern
CRTs is unbelievably strong stuff.

I think you would need to buy a case of the stuff to knock out a deep
scratch.
