As I recall in the early 1970's Zenith had a HV problem with caps opening
and HV would increase may arc thru yoke and CRT neck where you would replace
a "S" cap with the 4 lead tubular design
Remember those they were designed to short when failed and would usually
take out the HOT
Replaced a bunch in Magnavox and Zenith.

> Hi group...
> recently there was a fire in a retirement home around here, probably due
to a TV implosion (that's what they said in the news).  So every now and
then i get asked "Why / When do TVs implode?" - i thought that could only
happen if they fell over and the picture tube broke... can it happen
"spontaneously"?
