Thank you, that's a good point. I'd forgotten that the phosphor on the glass isn't going to be the anode as well!

Ion damage shuffling around the structure of the phosphor would explain why annealing could sort out the damage, too. I have a couple of very dim magic eyes for my R1155. Now I feel like putting one in the oven!
