A line I recall from an old Consumer Report's article on the subject read something like "most color televisions no longer contain these tubes and those that do have lead shielding to protect you" I think it was c.1972. For some reason I want to say those lead shielded tubes were used by GE. Guess it will take a look through the old photofacts to be certain. I've got some of those tubes on the shelf, I think there is more than one type with that design.
I haven't heard of a rash of old tv repairmen succumbing to cancer. But I don't think I would hang around the unshielded hv section of a 60s color set any longer than I had to. Where is that link to the fella who takes xray photos using an old tv?
