I've had similar problems with two Russian CRT's and I had to use scalpel to cut them loose and then carefully peel them off as they had almost fused to the glass, probably from the plastizicer had evaporated but also left a thin film on the glass that worked almost like glue.
I tried to put them in warm water to soften them but I was afraid that they would shrink and crush the tube so I didn't use water that was hotter than from the water tap at home and that was not enough. /Martin On Tuesday, 16 February 2021 at 20:18:18 UTC+1 Toby Thain wrote: > Hi all > > I have a crt with what looks to be a protective plastic sleeve over the > socket and gun end (pictured: https://imgur.com/9exmkCq).
