One way to reduce uneven wear is to set up a "warm up" recall in 4:3 mode on one of the memories/recalls your marquee, if thats what you choose to get. Run it for about 10 minutes at high levels and it will keep your phosphor all even. I got this tip from reading it on one of Alan Gougers posts.

Yikes...a log book for your projector?.... I am sorry but that is too anal. :)

Moving a CRT just slightly will upset the setup. I really think you would spend more time setting convergence and geometry then you would be watching.

Buy a spare green tube and replace after you see enough wear to warrant the change.

I have had my marquee for over a year now and recently took the tubes off to do the Belly fan mod and add hd 144 lenses and the tube show no sighn of 2.35 wear , its what i mosltly watch. Dont worry so much about tube wear, by doing the warm up mnethod i mentioned above all will be well.
