Sandy, that might have been a real collectors item!! Were you drinking or doing some of that I-420 stuff???

I shot at a 25" color Admiral with a .22 rifle one time. It had survived a house fire, sort of. One shot went through the center of the screen. Then, it whistled really loudly until all the vacuum escaped. I've always been a believer in CRT implosion possibilities.
