It does make sense that if the mask did come loose and pull back from the screen, the beams would be larger once they actually reached the phosphor...

If the tabs snap on to glass posts I can see them getting broken, but then you should have stuff rattling around inside the tube.

Good idea, I'm not as averse to shaking the tube as I am to tapping it.
colorfixer: I find it highly unlikely that the mask would deform in the oven, remember they have to bake these things when they're new as well. That and the fact the Scotty claims a very good track record on all glass tubes, according to him the onyl troubles are with metal/glass ones. I.E. 21AXP, 15G, ect. I don't think there's anything wrong with the gun either, since all the screen/grid controls work like they should.
