I knew a TV repairman who had a heart attack and died after lifting one of the giant, real wood, consoles from back in the 1960s/1970s. Of course, he smoked and was very overweight. I wonder if this had anything to do with it? HM? I also have never heard of any issue with TV repairmen getting cancer or other illnesses from the radiation from TVs.

Remember B&W TVs do not have a metal shadow mask, the X-ray risk from these is much less if, it even exists, than from the color TV sets.

I have about 3 types of tubes that are HV regulators for tube type color TVs. They all look like a 6BK4, but they have different pin-outs and are not interchangable.
