Lenny,
You are most likely correct regarding your diagnosis and prognosis......
and
if were my television I would have accepted that.....
HOWEVER, in this out of control law suit crazy society we live in, since
it
is no skin off of your back to report to them that the only way to
"properly" fix it is to replace the CRT and/or replace the television....
I
think that I may have done this instead of saying that there is no
problem.
Who knows, you might get the CRT replacement business on this one.
Remember that the glass is very thick in the front of the CRT, especially
near the corners.... so again I don't "think" there is any possible danger
of implosion or cracking...... the other thought that comes to me is that
a
glass cutter only has to score the glass in order to break it
cleanly.......
food for thought.

I'd bet anything that the scratch will never cause a problem directly, but
as you say, it could cause a problem if something else causes the tube to
implode and the scratch gets the blame.
