If the CRT is still good, why not get rid of the rotten PVA? On a small computer monitor CRT the implosion risk is going to be a lot less than a 25+ inch TV CRT. -J On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 11:19 AM, william degnan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
Anyone replace the mono display of the dec rainbow with a VT220 (or..)? The two VR201s I have screen rot. VR201 is the part number of the display that comes with the Rainbow. I can't be the first person to ask this questionj, most VR201's are pretty screen-rotted now. I am guessing it will take some doing to assuming the cable between the display and the computer is not a straight serial connection.
In the meantime I will work on this and let you know what I find. There is a VR201 on Ebay for $100.
