Is there a such thing as a reliable tube color TV?

Is that one you got from me still intermittently going off like a firecracker?

Nope, that was a chuck of carbon on a B+ trace to ground, found it using a variac (more like a sparkler than a fire cracker ) Cleaned it off and been good ever since. It sure was exciting though when it went off the 1st couple of times I tried it at full line voltage.
