Hi Gustavo, welcome

It looks like your Sony has the dreaded fungus problem, its something that grows in the glycol coolant in earlier sony tubes

Theres two ways to get rid of it, the hard way as described in the link below, which involves removing the tube, draining the glycol, cutting the front glass off and resticking it back on, i have done this procedure about 10 times and it works

Or you can wash the tube out using CLR, you will have to do a search on this as i no nothing about it, im sure someone else will chime in

All the best

Hola Gustavo!
Tengo el mismo problema en un ECP 2100. El razon por eso es que el liquido dentro la lampara hace una reaccion con el material del cajon que retiene la superficie de vidrio. Hay dos maneras descriptadas aqui:

debes que leer estos muy cuidadoso.
Aqui una pagina en castellano:

No me tienes miedo de apartar la lampara! Preparate un lugar bien limpio como una mesa grande cubierto con una manta o similar, trabajo con cuidado ( te recomendo hacer unas fotografias de los detalles antes de apartar! ) y tal vez te haces noticias de cada paso.
Para rellenar la lampara, aqui esta una receta por el liquido: 70% glicol etilenico y 30% glicerina. los ambos vas a encontrar en cada farmacia y seran baratos. No se la cantidad de liquido en su lampara, solo comparala con el liquido viejo.
Entonces, buena suerte con tu trabajo y muchos saludos de Bavaria.

Floh

PS. Donde tu vives en argentina?
