It strikes me that this lady was from Back East. She remembered how they told her how "special" the tricolor tube was to be, and that she had to wear a space suit while working on it. That's about all the detail I can remember of the conversation, but I remember the type of TV it was that I repaired for her. So next time I visit the shop where that call came from, I will check their database to see if I can get her name & number from searching with the TV make and zipcode.
