In the mid 50s they used to show on TV a tape of
a ball on a string
launched into the face of an unprotected CRT. The neck proceeded
through the faceplate and embedded in a 1/2" piece of plywood.
Definitely made one careful when playing with the old sets.
Yes, but being TV, had they filled the tube with propane and
ignited it?
