I once lost a 12UP4 CRT from not bolting a chassis back down. I pulled the chassis from a Zenith "Claridge" table model TV, Ran into several issues so I slid the chassis back into the cabinet and set it aside on the floor to work on later. 2 months went by before I had time to work on the TV again, When I lifted the TV (from the front) to move it to my bench the chassis slid out the back and crash!!! It was only a foot or so off the ground but the impact was enough to kill the crt and it immediately went to air. This was a rebuilt 12UP4 from Hawkeye I bought from a guy for $180.00 just a few months before. I always check the chassis bolts now.
