NOPE!!! TVs get blamed for a lot of fires, but I have yet to see any evidence, in 46 years. They used to get blamed for the cats hair falling out!! If a picture tube did implode, it still wouldn't start a fire. WHAT a bunch of CRAP.

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"? > > Happy Holidays... > Stefaan Van Slycken > Van Slycken Elektro - Waasmunster, Belgium > ------------------------------------------ > Submit A Repair Tip For Everyone Here: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html > ------------------------------------------ > To REMOVE your email address, click here: > http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html > To CHANGE your email address, click here: > http://www.techassist.net/forms/change.html > ------------------------------------------ Submit A Repair Tip For Everyone Here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html ------------------------------------------ To REMOVE your email address, click here: http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html To CHANGE your email address, click here: http://www.techassist.net/forms/change.html
