[inquiry on how to replace glass on monitor without replacing tube]

Sorry, the glass on the monitor is and intregal part of the tube.
Unless the front surface of the tube is real thick, the scratch will
weaken the structure of the tube.

If you really can't afford to replace the tube, (maybe you can get
a used one?) , there are glass shops that fill in nicks with
hard as glass epoxy resin. These guys usually fill in nicks in
the front of automobile windshields. If they are extra carefully,
they might be able to do the front glass of your monitor.
