[Dave Shevett] I have 3-4 DEC VR201 monitors that have the dreaded cataracts problem.
I have experienced that on more than one occasion, though more VT220s than VR201s.
Or, obtain another CRT without faceplace, but it has to be (mostly mechanically) compatible.
I can say from my experience that due to the mounting scheme in the bezel, beyond mere safety issues, you do have to replace the outermost safety glass (the bit closest to the user that you can reach out and touch, to be clear). The CRT will move around quite substantially without that extra thickness (the PVA and safety glass) on the front. -ethan
