Had this with a Sony 20" CRT. Repair would cost Euro 92,- (let's say US$
140,-). In one day I got a, 10 yrs younger, LaCie electron 22 blue III CRT
for Euro 20,- (US$ 30,-) from the Dutch/Belgium branch of

Would say: Don't spend any more time (= money also) on a faiking CRT.
Finding (and testing!!) another CRT will be cheaper, easier and faster.
