It's certainly the longest lasting phosphor dot I've ever seen. Your daughter sounds cute by the way.

In that condition and without the cover it looks like the Fallout 1's UI style lol.

the crt doesn't have a spot killer, or it's not functioning. less to do with persistence and more to do with the b+ taking too long to die. (really) old tv sets didn't have them either. we had a b&w tube set that had a spot just like this when turned off.

Very cool! But i don't think it's really the phosphor to keep bright all that long, it would be impossible to use the computer! I think more probably there's a huge capacitor discharging (probably the crt itself)

i was thinking that too, When was 13, I took apart a crt tv and touched the circuit board as well as the inside of the of the ray tube; it had a rubber gasket that had wires going into it so i thought why not. So i removed the rubber gasket and noticed the big hole inside the glass tube and barely touched the lead lining of it before I got the worst shock of my entire life. i didnt know much about electronics which is why i took it apart, my mistake was plugging it in and charging up the 25kv capacitor (average crt value), im willing to bet that had I not waited 15-30 min before taking it apart than id be dead. I felt like a bug on a zapper, it made my entire body contract and got me curled up slightly, i had a tiny burn on my finer too

Yeah it is a cap discharging. Still a long phosphor too
