I remember a letter to TV Guide's technical Q&A man David Lachenbruch from a lady whose son had thrown a toy which struck the TV screen, leaving a gouge in the face of the tube. Lachenbruch's response went something like: "Unplug the set, turn it toward the wall, then run--don't walk--to your local TV repairman." I think he went on to briefly touch on the dangers of implosion...you're familiar with the dangers of implosion when the structural integrity of the tube is threatened, yes? Those deep scratches and gouges are really bright flashing signs that say "REPLACE ME...VERY CAREFULLY...NOW!!" Don't hide them, heed them.
