That's interesting because I've worked on several old portable color TVs from the 1980s and and even a few non-portable units from the 1980s that when I tipped the TV forward (or maybe it was on its side) the picture tube would get messed up by looking like someone ran a powerful magnet across the screen and that would be the end of the TV.
Any ideas as to what I was experiencing and what would be the best way to avoid that?
