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. > What’s not clear to me, after removing the old “protection” sheet, did > you apply some new “protection” sheet, or leave the tube “as-is” ? > I doubt whether that “protection” sheet would really help much if > the tube would implode (for whatever miraculous reason) … 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. > > Henk > /Mattis
