I hope it wasn't dropped, and those magnets added to compensate (half-assed) for the shadow mask being bent. I put thousands of magnets like that on tubes after the Northridge Earthquake, and it works as long as you disable the degaussing coil. I did that in many cases for fallen TVs where the TV owner wanted to pump a few more months out of them, and didn't want to shell out for a new tube.
