[QUOTE=Electronic M;3071062]I seem to recall someone saying that 70's "loss leader" roundys did not usually have safety glass installed when they were built so I'd imagine if it was okay then it should be okay now. I've never had a roundy CRT implode (knock on wood) and I've got 4 sets and 6 total CRTs, all of which I've handled at some point. The one I cataracted above even got tapped with a hammer on the screen a few times and is fine so I'm not all that worried.

That someone was wrong!
Any set without either a safety glass or some kind of an integral implosion protection would never pass U/L listing standards.
All the low end roundys at the time used either a 21FJP22 or a 21FBP22 with a tempered safety glass and a rubber sealing ring.
If you notice, the bonded safety glass is not tempered.
