Yeah, that's what I thought at first, but it appears that the coating is all still there. The coating has developed a crack, then sagged downward on one side. With a little heat, I should be able to push the wax back over, and seal over it with something else. It may have been a fault, it may have simply been due to age and the heat from use. This flyback box is pretty sealed up - no airflow. Once this gets going, I'm going to probably install a fan like another AK'er did.

I thought of this also, but I would like to avoid taking the picture tube out of the cabinet unless I have to. Also, I was worried about the potential damage to the front bezel if the glass is glued in too well. Another thing I thought of would be to borrow the floor tile puller from work. It's a device with two great big suction cups on it, and a release for them. You plunk it down on a computer room floor tile, and lift the tile up. The tiles weigh a good 20 pounds, and this thing has no problems. Once again, I'd be worried about damaging the bezel.
