Default Re: CRT is brighter to one side [Hitachi CTP213]

There is unlikely to be a crack in the board.
The cracks I would be looking for are very fine and in the copper usually at the edge of the solder where a part has been replaced.
The copper comes away from the board and often cracks at the junction between the soldered bit and the plane copper under the usually green lacquer.
