(e.g. Kester "44" 20 gauge).
Arcing from the metal brace to the HV module can cause the display to
momentarily shrink and flick out of focus. The cure is to bend the brace
up enough to increase the arc path and clean the surfaces involved. Apply
HV dope to the brace and module where distances are small.
If the case interior seems pretty clogged with dust and gunk, it's a
good idea to remove the side-mounted Controls/Switch Module and give the
case a good washing. (Be very sure it is well dried before replacing.)
You should also clean the two controls on the C/S Module with spray-in
control cleaner.
Before putting the case back, this is a good time to adjust base
Intensity and Focus (the two nub controls on the HV module). Position the
monitor so that screen is easy to see and the nub controls are accessible.
Plug in the the C/S Module. Adjust the C/S Module controls to center
positions. Plug in the monitor to the computer. Get a Desktop display with
some text and icons. Use an insulated tool to adjust the nub Intensity and
Focus controls for maximum sharpness at 'normal' viewing intensity. A
magnifying glass is helpful to obtain max pixel sharpness.

Safety
Unplugging the monitor and letting it sit for a few hours reduces the
danger of shock from stored charges; it does not eliminate it. The usual
warning for this kind of work is AVOID touching two different circuit
points at the same time. Like, don't touch the metal chassis and the
conductive surface of the CRT at the same time. It's a good idea to clip a
wire to the chassis and touch the other end to the conductive surface of
the CRT a few times before doing any work.
WEAR protective GOGGLES. If you should, somehow, bump or stress the CRT
neck-- as in jumping when you get shocked-- it may break. The result may
be a peaceful THOOP! or the CRT may implode in a spray of glass.
Work on a wooden or plastic-topped table with plenty of space. Try to
position yourself, tools, and the monitor so that when you get 'stung',
the chances of breaking something are reduced.
