Re: B&W vector monitor FAQ?

You've also got the option of Clean/Balance which cleans the guns with less power and
less risk. I bought the universal adapter - so it'll do just about any tube. In my
collection of games - I had at least 3 tubes that tested "Bad". I didn't even
realize it, but when I cleaned them and they tested "Good" - there was a remarkable
difference. A nice clean, bright tube gives you that "Aw - that's how I remember
this game" feel.
