Jeff,

The photo here shows a 21FJP22 with severe cataracts. As you can see, the only place in which the glue is still intact is the clean area in the dead center.

If mold or mildew starts to get between the two pieces of glass, it turns black like this one did. Sometimes, it may be light cataracts, which is the greenish looking "halo" seen around the outer edge of the tube.

If you have a FJP with cataracts and good emisions, you can take on the task of removing the safety glass, and then you have a FBP.

This can happen with some of the early rectangular tubes as well, but in most cases it is only the green halo.
