I'd send you a private message, but I'm not sure how... In any case, I'm interested. I have a few of these CRTs (of various vintages, the electron gun has been redesigned over time). I'm also curious whether the lifetime can be improved by changing the operating point (modifying the ratio of accelerating voltage versus beam current, while keeping similar brightness and spot size) like with magic eye tubes (detailed in the paper "Degradation of ZnS:Cu,Au,Al phosphor powder and thin films under prolonged electron bombardment"). I suspect it's not a surface layer phenomenon like in the eye tubes (since the phosphor is viewed from the opposite side that the electrons strike, and it's so thin), but it's worth a try. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
