I think that TV was an export model for the planet Vulcan :para:

Sound OK but no picture - Possible problem with tube
 

The tube looks fine to me except for one little bad spot in the middle. :D

I was going to start a thread on this one to ask what would cause the spot. So, just what happened there, do you think?

The neck is broken, and when the air and glass rushed in it removed some phosphor from the screen. At least thats what it looks like.

Nah - the tube is probably just a little weak - a zap with the rejuvinator should bring it back <grin>

Yeah, that has definitely lost vacuum - that's typically what they look like when the neck gets broken.

We are Borg...

I think the vacuum slowly leaked out. Good thing too, as too much vacuum getting into the air in the room too fast can be dangerous. Picture tubes have been known to blow up. NASA has to exercise great care when sending astronauts in space to keep the vacuum up there from gettiing into the spacecraft.

:D

Nah, it was a family of Shithouse rats moved in , nibbled the phosphor off the screen. The Crt's toast, they nibble the guns offa them, that's how they get in. i've seen this before.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Oh, was that it:? I thought maybe it was from the klortz entering too fast.

You can always tell if it's Shithouse rats eatin' yer TV-the droppings will glow if you zap 'em w/an electron beam...<grin>
