I don't believe the youtube has a Zenith cataract removal video, so here is mine (click on picture to watch).


After the glass is separated you want to roll the PVA off in large sheets. If there is a stubborn center region go at it with 'Goof Off' and your finger nails. Any stubborn PVA spots smaller than pea size can be cleaned/dissolved off with 'Goof Off'.

After all PVA residue is gone I clean the safety glass and the CRT face with glass cleaner until perfectly spotless, attach the glass to the CRT at the mid points of the sides with pieces of 1/8" thick double stick foam tape (each piece is a 2 layer sandwich), and seal the gap between the tube and safety glass around the perimeter with a thin bead of clear bathroom silicone caulk to keep dust out....So far the tube in that video is has been used regularly since the cataract removal for about 4-5years and is still dust free and spotless inside the seal.


I'm at 3 tries and 3 successes on Zenith cataract removal so far. If you have any questions I likely have the answer.
