Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird.
there are impossible to repair and extremely strong. they have to be, they have vacuum inside, if it cracks it can implode.
I had a CRT monitor back in the day that tipped off the edge of the desk while I was hooking it up.
CLUNK! - hiss
Welp.
I learned a valuable lesson about leverage that day.
happy it didn’t implode. they could have been a bomb…
acktually… I now have to double check if they implode at all…
Though not the most academic resource, the YouTubers How Ridiculous recently popped a CRT screen. Because of their video format, I’m having a bit of time identifying which one it was, but it might have been this:

It does not implode as I thought, I was wrong. Also that was the chilliest dude to ever smash a tv with a fire extinguisher,
