The prettiest light show is from a 68 Zenith color console which puts out a psychedelic kaleidoscope that lasts a few seconds.
Yup, here too!

Had an RCA HiLite 21FJP22 that did the same thing, but really dim. Just enough to notice it. Spooky to wake up at 2am and see that roundie outline just abut glowing...
Wow, same thing here. I used to have a roundie in my bedroom when I still lived w/my parents. It was creepy to see only that roundie "eye" glowing in a totally dark room.

We also had a Sony Trinitron 13" set, from about 1980 that would glow pretty bright for a long time...

My brother's mid 80's Zenith has such an agressive natural glow to the CRT
Since we've mentioned Zenith & Sony, might this have something to do with a high-quality CRT?
