What you described sounds like a "cataract", but I would not know for sure without seeing a picture or two (with the white raster and with the screen dark, ideally).

With your anode cap, you could clean it very well and then fill in the hole with silicone sealer to reduce any chances of problems, but it may be OK as it is now.

Re: the cataract- Are you talking about the 13" Hitachi?
If so, it's highly unlikely that it is developing a cataract. This was more of an issue with earlier color tubes.

Yes, it is for the Hitachi.. If it's not cataract, I wonder what it is, unless it's just a defect in the phosphors I never noticed before.

I'd wager a guess that your crt needs a purity adjustment...maybe the yoke has shifted a tad.
