That's one heck of a set - shame about the CRT. A friend of mine told me stories he'd heard about the 30" sets - said how they had problems with tube implosions, since it was so hard to make those 30" tubes perfectly round and sealed, and that he'd heard of a tube just imploding while in use. <BOOM!> Now, this was all heard second/third hand - may not be true, but it certainally makes a lot of sense. But tubes going gassy to me seems more likely. Anyone seen one of these operational?
