Below is a picture. Simple text is open to show the issue better. This unit hasn't been shipped in at least 25 or 30 years, so I don't think it was something loose from shipping. I do remember a time when the screen was perfect, maybe about 15 years ago. If I recall, it gave off a high pitched...

I dont think its burnt in. I've seen a few burnt in color CRTs and it doesn't really look like this. Also, the burnt in Mac CRTs Ive seen you can really see it around the menu bar.
