<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2419419, member: 15199&quot;]The old TVs ( especially the early color tubes) had such high voltage they produced x-rays. The front of the picture tube was leaded glass about an inch thick to block them from the viewers. As they left the market the old tube front was often drilled to release the vacuum and then the leaded glass cut into &quot;sparkling jewels&quot; by facetors. I have some pieces around. One of my friend&#039;s dad had such a TV back then and put it in the middle of the large family room so &quot;grannie&quot; who had horrible vision, could put her chair near the back to listen to the storyline.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
