36 yrs here in buisness having moved dozens and dozens
of Pro sets in and out of houses.
Sounds to me like somebody trying to Hit up an insurance company.

No magic, just observation, logic, and experience.

Your statement "No way was it done in Moving" seemed to be based more on
clairvoyance than any of the above. It suggested a simplistic view of
these
problems and a dangerous assumption. One must be much more careful with
some RPTVs than people assume when moving them. I have seen quite a few
Mitsubishis(VZ series chassis) and RCA (PTK195 chassis) that had coolant
leaks shortly after being moved.

Maybe moving brought on the leaks which were already started but
No way was it done in Moving...

What a silly statement. Of course it was done in moving. That does
not
mean that the mover should necessarily be liable. The basic design is
less
than optimal.

It would be more correct to say that moving brought on a leak, but
that
the
integrity of the seal was marginal and anything that slightly jarred
the
CRTs would likely have had the same result. I have seen several of
these
that had no problems until they were moved, then when examined
carefully
the
coolant had migrated completely from the tubes to a small spot on the
board
and corrosion had started. Sometimes you can't even find where it
leaked
from with the CRT removed.

The basic problem is that the frame that holds the crt to the coolant
chamber is too flexible to maintain even and sufficient pressure on
the
seal. Many never leak. All are marginally sealed. When we do one
that
Mitsubishi is paying for, we don't replace the tubes, we reseal them
using
a
very thin film of RTV on both sides of the rubber gasket. I believe
this
to
be a better seal than even a new tube from Mitsubishi.
