Or explodes the picture tube!


There was a girder footbridge over this canal, and small kids had
somehow acquired duff CRTs and would carry them half across this bridge

The electron gun had been propelled though the screen and imbeded itself in the back of a lounge chair.

There is almost 20,000lbs of pressure on the out side of a 23inch one..
