Hi,
How do you know the tube is going? How is the image ?
When the tube is going you have less contrast and the screen is darker.
If you are good in electronics you can make something yourself:
Increase the electric tension on tube from 6.3 Volts to 6.8 Volts and
you can use the monitor another 1 year or maybe more. You can increase
the tension by replacing the rezistor linked in series with the
monitor's...(how do you call in english the thin wire making light in a
bulb)with another one of smaller value (Ohms).
Maybe you find a friend to do this.
Warning: in some places inside the monitor the tension is 20000Volts and
you can die.
Good Luck
Cristian
