Folks - Any idea what causes the screen rot?

It's the understood chemical decomposition of the adhesive that holds the 
screen shield to the CRT.  It's pretty much inevitable, from what I understand. 
 The solution is to separate the shield from the CRT, clean the face of the CRT 
and reattach the shield.  Some people don't reattach it, and some people think 
they are risking serious injury - no opinion. Will the newer adhesives hold up 
better?  We hope so.  -- Ian
