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. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
