This should be sufficient for any bare tube. For a
tube inside an
enclosure, then you need to take a look at how the tube is mounted in
the enclosure. Some enclosures just have plastic mounting posts
holding the CRT in place. That's fine for the CRT sitting on a desk,
but not good when the whole thing is dropped 2 feet from the back of a
truck. In those cases, I suggest wadding packing inside the enclosure
to keep the CRT braced by more than just the mounting posts.
I'd add a layer on all 4 sides of polystyrene foam sheet (available
from your local big box DIY store as insulation).
Inexpensive and
something to add a little structure and to soften the bumps. Cut
it
with a serrated-blade bread knife.
