I have seen a few crt s implode.
I was trying to remove a mounting bracket from an old crt, and
pried on it too hard.
I had set a cardboard box over the tube, because I suspected
it could be dangerous, and thought it might save a mess from
happening.
up to this time I was beginning to think the were not
dangerous, after braking many in at the dumster, and seeing
nothing exciting happen.
This time the tube went boom, and lifted the box off and threw
glass all over the shop, very small pieces and larger ones.
I now have much more respect for the CRT dangers.
I thank god, I was not injured.
I could have been blinded at the very least.
I still don't see how this could cause a fire though, unless
the flying glass would cause a short to occur somewhere, and
the fuse was not in the circuit.
I guess freak things do happen.
BCNU,
Larry
