I'm picking up an old school HP CRT monitor from a neighbor to compliment a vintage Vectra XA-6 I just finished fixing. Naturally, as with all displays, I don't expect this thing to last forever. What happens when a CRT monitor stops working? I would like to know any possible components that could lead to failure (Power supply, transformer, electron guns, capacitors, ect.) and most importantly the effects. Unfortunately I'm a bit paranoid as I haven't owned a CRT for more than 2 years at a time and I'm planning to keep this one until its demise.
Let me know about your experience with a CRT that died in your presence or your professional knowledge about what happens. All I can find online are small tidbits because ya know, it's 2017.
Thanks in advance!
