It can certainly open the filament if you go too wild with it. I average 8.something volts to elicit a brighter raster without blowing the tube open. I would not recommend this on a valuable set but it is a fine trick for the run o the mill jap 12" b/w..
Okay. It originally sounded like you wrapped a couple turns around the neck of the CRT. Couldn't make any sense of that.
