Of monitors and CRTs

Hi,

My monitor screen (acer - dont know the number) is beginning to distort the image. There is a 1.5 inch horizontal strip across the screen in which the image is distorted in the y-axis. Moreover, the monitor is a bit old. The colours of the monitor are beginning to die as well.

Its anybody's guess that the CRT is nearly dead. But could anyone guide me as to what potential problems might be there. I would like to give a shot at it myself and see if I can solve it. I would really like if some one could guide me to some sort of tutorial on fixing monitors.

Thanks a lot

ps: I have never had any experience with CRTs but I know that its a dangerous affair :D
