Most of the early sets I've seen had a well secured crt. Philco, Admiral, Zenith-they are generally well strapped down. I am amazed that the 3 "loose-mount" RCA sets I have made it this far in life without a broken crt. The people I bought them from paid them no special care-those picture tubes were just sort of hanging by the yoke. Scary.
I still would be very nervous about shipping any complete tv set. When they were new they would have been handled with kid gloves from factory to the customer's home, because if they were damaged some guy was going to be in deep trouble. But today, you had better plan on that package being dropped 8' off a loading dock, onto its corner, onto concrete. Can you pack it well enough to survive that?
