Interesting test. That was one thick piece of glass on the face of the CRT. I do remember a terminal like the one seen in the beginning. The high speed missile impact was interesting, as the implosion was clear, followed by the expulsion of small frags after the air had rushed in and before the pressure equalized. However, I had to get a player piano soundtrack used in a silent movie theater. Something with a western bar room and brawl theme. I thought the Flight of the Valkyries could work, too.

If only they've used Stockton Rush's patented implosion warning technology, these tubes could have been spared!

Why did the DVST have such a wide neck so far back? I suppose this is to do with the storage function, but curious how that works.

Pretty sure that was a shield for the yoke, not "tube"

I hope they used flawed (rejected) CRTs, but probably not. This film is like watching crash tests of new and desirable cars! Very disturbing.

You can see a severe screen burn on one of them, a circular pattern. The others may also be lifetime test articles.

They could have also been units previously used for burn-in testing. Once those tests are done, the tubes wouldn't be good for much else.

Good morning, gentlemen of Tektronix technology. My name is Alexandre Varga, I live in Brazil, and I have been working with Tektronix instrumentation for 45 years.
