Removing the factory tension band often causes implosion....Unless you break the neck of the tube to release the vacuum before cutting the band....Don't harvest tabs from tubes still capable of producing an image bright enough to watch....No one rebuilds CRTs anymore so it is best to wait till they die before stripping one.
There is not a lot to those tabs...A good machinist could probably make new ones for you, or you might be able to cobble up a usable substitute.
