Yes, cataracts can be fixed and that has often been discussed in the Early Color Television forum. Here is one recent discussion:

If you search in that forum for "cataract" you will find other discussions.

is that just glass without any baked on coating,because if is just pure glass has anyone tryed soaking the face of the tube in pure mineral spirits for day or so that pva compond looks a form of r v t silicone and mineral spirits will dissolve silicone nicely, doug on his video said he used carb&choke cleaner to clean the residue off the picture tube.but if there is any other coating on that glass the solvent will make it cloudy. but if that will work temp. is no longer a issue. anyone got a old bad tube to experiment with ha ha

phil are all those tv's and radio's your's in that gallery if they are then WOW there are some vary nice color sets there .

does'nt anyone want to touch that question ? hay does anyone have any of that pva still in a trash can ,they could put some solvent on it and see it desolves it. theres away we could test that theroy.
