I screwed up on the title, I meant G05, not G07

My Asteriods starts up nice and bright, but fades over a period of about 10 minutes to the point where nothing in visible except the ships. I figured Id cap it and see if that fixed it, and when I pulled it I saw the way the flyback cord is kinked under and glued in place. Is this normal on these?

You should have asked this in the Monitor Help section.

The G05 has a diode in between the flyback and anode cup. You can see it there in your "kink". The glue you see was to help keep the HV from leaking out, and to hold the diode steady to keep it from flexing too much and breaking a lead. Unless you see lightning sparking out, leave it alone...
 
Thanks Mod, looks funny to me, but I dont know much so I shall leave it be:D
I realized that I put it in the wrong catagory right after I posted it but couldnt figure out how to move it
