Default Re: Rejuvenating Magic eye Valves?

I have wondered if the failure mode of magic eyes is related to ion damage in non-aluminised CRTs with no ion trap magnet. That wouldn't explain why the ones with phosphor on glass last better than the ones with phosphor on metal, unless the ones with the phosphor on the glass are aluminised, or something, which I find unlikely.
