If the entire viewing area is discolored, it's probably just from years of heavy use. If you have a circle burned in the middle, it's probably been rebuilt with a straight instead of bent gun.

Thanks, Bob....the burn is a faint thumbprint near the center.......actually hard to see much of the time........so If the tube was rebuilt with the incorrect gun then the burn is going to continue to get worse with continued use, yes? If I can find a proper dual trap, my thought is I may be able to turn the brightness down which should weaken the retrace lines as well.
