Re: B&W vector monitor FAQ?

The B&K rejuvenator is about as foolproof as it gets. I used to test my
CRTs yearly and give them a 'nudge' as needed. The whole key is to not
wait until the tube is almost dead, a rejuv won't work as well if the
tube is too far gone.

I used to know a TV repairman with a Sencore rejuvenator that said it
would occasionally ruin a tube. The B&K uses a different approach and
is much safer.
