Strange, I expected to see a broad burn band across the entire centre of the screen. This picture suggests sudden loss of vaccum, and/or a great lump of phosphor falling of the screen. Either way, goodbye CRT. (It's not the same TV, is it?)

That's what happens when you break the neck of a CRT. The inrush of air blasts the aluminising and phosphor off the screen. There's no way back from this, unless you can re-screen the tube and the neck cracks are contained. Not any more.... A screen burn caused by collapsed scan is often not visible until you light up the CRT with a raster. Then you will see it. Also no way back. If the Early Television Foundation museum in Columbus, Ohio ever get their act together they should be able to re-gun CRTs but there are no plans AFAIK to do re-screening, even though I believe they have the RACS plant to do it. This is why it behoves us to look after the remaining working CRTs. 'Coz when they're gone, they're gone for all time.

That tube has definitely been necked. Back in the 70s as a radio apprentice we disposed of many old TV's and we always broke the exhaust tip of the neck of the tube for safety and that's exactly how the phosphor looked afterwards. Oh how I wish I had a few of the sets we junked back then now.
