i know about those magnavox ears. years ago,a friend of mine cut the band off a maggie crt.installed it in a solid state admiral.powered up,set the convergance and left it on for about 30 minutes.we were talking on the phone when i heard it! implosion,explosion? i went over to look at the damage.cabinet blew apart,tube imploded,mask was in a few pieces.fortunatly,the back was still on and the electronics looked intact.could have been worse-didn t pull the nails from the walls! frank later used the chassis in another cabinet and never did he ever cut the band off again. lesson learned.
