Not really. A lot of sets are built this way, even the large screen sets. The set currently on the bench is a 21" Zenith. The huge 21" picture tube is mounted to the chassis with metal straps. I always remove the tube from the chassis to work on it - you don't want the picture tube to have to support the weight of the chassis strapped to it. Remove the tube, then put a soft cloth down on something solid and out of the way, and put the tube, face down, on the cloth. Avoid putting tubes on the floor - too easy to bump, unless it's in a closet or something. And be sure that whatever you put the tube on is good and solid, and not going to tip.
