What do I need to know?

Tube TVs are like stray cats, once you adopt one they start finding you, showing up by the dozens. I bet I have 50 tube color sets now, would you like to adopt one!?!? They have all their shots and are neutered....

I find the deadliness and wholesale replacement of caps and that to be greatly exaggerated. Yes they will bite and may even burn little holes in you if you touch the wrong thing.
I just fix whats wrong with them and they work great.
