I cannot tell a lie, Officer Obie. I imploded that tube by hitting it with a shovel, a rake, and other implements of de-struction.

Mbwahahahahahahaha.. Gotta love some "Alice" !

I am glad to hear that you had only minor injuries. All this time, I always thought of safety glass on the front of a TV set as a "yeah right, do you really think the picture tube would just blow up?" overkill thing. Obviously, it is not.

The Early Television Museum has a couple of 24-inch CRTs available, 24ATP4 and 24AUP4; maybe you can find out if either one would work in your set. Send them a message to [email protected] or call 614-771-0510 if you find out one of those two could work.

And here I have hauled around loose pix. tubes of various sizes in my vehicles for decades...no problems... (except for one time when a hand
cart fell over onto a tube in the CC van I had, about 11 years ago...when i worked for them..but it was considered junk anyway..it just killed the neck...no "blast".)

Of course...all it takes is ONE time..

Decades ago, a couple of friends showed up at my house, driving a Suburban-type vehicle with the entire area behind the front seats filled with loose CRTs, and not just in a single layer either. I was nervous just standing next to that vehicle with its door open.

That happened to our 1987 Dodge. I was wondering why the backlight looked so cloudy until I got close to it. Very windy day. Didn't hear a pop of any kind though.

I second this.

I MAY have a 24AYP4 tube in an old halolight set I have...IIRC it DID check pretty good on my CR-70, but the SET is in rough shape itself.

Lol!

IIRC I hear that mice can't fart or burp. A friend of mine says natural mouse poisoning is simply to leave a shallow dish of soda out that they can easily drink from...The gas they get from it will kill them since they can't get rid of the pressure from it.

I have a Packard Bell 24STi-something with a good safety glass and 24DP4 CRT which I'll be parting out. The 24DP4 is 2 inches longer than your 24AEP4 but does use a 90 degree deflection angle, so might be a possible sub if you're not able to find the other tube.

Dang, that's interesting.

So as much as mice like cheese, they can't cut it. Too bad.
