Nice looking box, Kevin. I had a 15HP22 here a while back that John Folsom had shipped to New Jersey years ago in a box he had custom made that looked just like yours.

Don't forget, they used to send CRTs through the every day. The OEM cartons aren't nearly as high a quality as the one you or John made. But they were surely designed to be 'good enough.' I'm also pretty sure those cartons didn't stay "face up" or "face down" or whatever they were supposed to be during all of those shipments.

I store all my CRTs face up on the theory that if there ever is any non-fatal debris loose inside I don't want it damaging the phosphor.
