Couldn't take a good photo of this, but right next to a pin on my colorgun (think that's the correct term, it's on the neck of the picture tube) I have a hairline crack in the plastic. I think the circular trim around the pin may be broken off. Is this a big problem? I want to send the monitor board in for repair, but not if this issue will negate any repairs. Sorry again, but could not take a detailed photo. Thanks.

As long as the glass underneath isn't cracked or the pin broken fromt he tube, then cracked plastic is not an issue. I have tubes with it missing completely and they work just fine...
 
Anytime I see that yellowed plastic I am just waiting for it to disintegrate.
