My experience is that after about seven years or so, CRT monitors start showing signs of age, getting dim, that sort of thing. These were business grade monitors, not the el-cheapo monitors that are thrown in with cheap computers these days.
17" CRT monitors are not considered to be economically repairable, since there resale value is nil. If price is no object, you could have someone salvage any part you needed.
It would be more practical to buy/haul away a good quality monitor from someone who is "upgrading, and put it in storage. For best results, power the monitor up every few months. This will extend the life of the capacitors in the monitor. Store at reasonable temperature and humidity levels.
At the speed that flat panel technology is improving, it's not likely you will need more than one backup monitor.
