What I am getting at is "should" a band be added to a CRT that has the safty glass removed.
If they are the same basic CRT just one uses bonded glass and the other has a band, then it would seem that a band should be added if the bonded glass is removed.

As far as I know, they would NOT be "the same basic CRT," as I don't think you will find the same part number with a safety glass OR a band - it will be one or the other. Note the danger of implosion of a banded tube when the band is removed. This tells me the banded and unbanded tubes must be basically different. The engineers may have determined that a particular glass kit could be used either way, but I don't know if that has ever been done, unless someone who knows tells us.
