The cover on my Predicta barberpole has not been a problem in the 10 or so years I've owned it. Never noticed a smell, but I just walked over and stuck my nose against it, and there is a faint odor.

It didn't have cloudiness when I got it. I polished a couple of spots that were scratched, using Novus #2. Hasn't changed appearance since then. This is the humid Pacific NW, so maybe I'm just lucky.

My only screen issue is a piece of something -- maybe a fleck of tobacco or a little piece of dried grass -- stuck between the cover and the CRT face. Must have gotten in there when the CRT was replaced. I looked into pulling off the cover, but it's such a hassle with that spring on the bottom that I decided to ignore it for now.
