it can be repaired (not worth it) just buy a new one.
you can place a SMOKE Plexi as your Bezel and you won't even see it.
Save the PCB and find another one that you can swap the monitor with.

Nicely done...tell the guy to replace something that's not being made any more just because of some burn!  There are a finite amount of these in the world.  Even though there are plenty NOW, the more these keep getting tossed because of minor repairable issues the less there will be in the future.  And that future will come sooner unless we're conservative.

If its light burn - I'd just live with it, its hard to notice when the game is on.

If it's heavy burn, you can replace the tube, or try the smoked plexi like was suggested.

WG don't make 19" anymore ?
I guess the k72xx series is out then. I bought mine 3-4 years ago.

If it's that bad and you can find a suitable "donor" tube from a TV or a similar monitor beyond repair, you can attempt a tube swap.  Hardest part is often verifying that the yokes match (or swapping them, if they don't).  CRT burn is unfortunately irreparable from a practical standpoint, and new CRT monitors are really hard to come by.
