i have Never seen this happen in all the years (like 1970) of servicing crt tv!
as a kid,i played/stumbled/fixed 50s tvs found cheap at "sally ann".
if i could not fix the $2 50s tv, me and my friends would "blow up the crts" with rocks.(i know-i was a kid at the time).
what amased me at the time was how tough the crts were!
it usally took serveral rocks thrown at the back of the crt to get them to blow!
i even accidently dropped one 21 inch 50s era b&w crt a few feet to concrette and it didnt blow-those crts were tough!
surprised to see this crt blow!
