The story about the tech cutting the shrink band to remove the ears to make the tube fit a different mount is TRUE, I herd it happen, sounded like a shotgun blast,

That makes TWO such incidents, as the one I heard about had happened in a local shop and the walls still had the gouges where the glass had dug in. I worked there for about a year between college and my first contract engineering job.
Our local newspaper had a story in News Briefs headlined "Texas Woman Killed By Exploding Television" during the first week of July, 1986. The story, as I remember it, was that a violent domestic incident between a husband and wife involved the throwing of a television set. Later, the wife's sister came over to help her clean up the mess. She picked the TV up off the floor and BOOM! She died about an hour later at an area hospital of blood loss from massive cuts to the face and neck.
