Thanks Henk! I have a few more screens that need fixing. The most difficult
will be the Tek 4016. So I need to do some practice before that one.

No, I didn't add anything between the crt and the glass. If it actually is
a protective shield then of course there is not at all the same protection
afterwards. But as Christian Corti mentioned it might just be an etched
glass to remove reflections.  I know at the RICM when doing the same thing
on a DEC VR14 they added a sheet of lexan between the crt and the glass. I
think Michael Thompson can tell more about this.
