For some reason someone put tape across the bottom 20% or so of my Battlezone monitor. I am not sure why they did this nor do I really care. All I know is that I have years old tape stuck to the bottom of the tube.

Any suggestions how to remove it safely without messing up the tube or scratching it or what not? Unfortunately, it doesn't just fall off. It's old nasty stuck on there masking tape painted black.

Razor blade, windex, etc... Shouldn't have to worry about scratching the tube unless your going file the tape off or something. ;)

Was it holding a green color gel in place?
 
Yeah, I would say scrape off with razor blade. Maybe some Goof Off to get off what is left.
 
It was there to hold the green film on and to give a definite "edge" to the picture. Mine was originally held down with a black plastic tape like electrical tape, but it had dries out so I replaced it with black electrical tape.

Nope... it didn't hold down the film as I have the carboard bezel that has the film still attached to it that sets down on the monitor. I think they just wanted to "black out" the bottom for some reason.
