As a kid starting out in tv repair in the late 60s,early 70s( I got cheap broken 50s TVs from sally ann), if the picture tube was bad,my friends and I would implode the crts( using an empty lot at the end of my alley) by throwing Rocks at the back of the crt.glass everywhere and the boom sounds like a shot gun. A lot of fun for us kids.did it a lot and somehow,nobody got hurt. RonL
