When I was a kid we had a large tube TV in a wooden console, as was common then. It stopped working. My excellent idea at the time was to remove the large picture tube and replace it with my fish tank. Worked out great, but what to do with that large picture tube. It was way too big to fit in the garbage can.
So I took it out to the field in back of the house to break it into pieces. I then threw a large rock at it from a discrete distance. The rock just bounced off the screen. So, looking for heavier armament, I found a brick to throw at it. When that brick hit, it was like a bomb went off. Scared the daylight out of me. You have no idea what a loud noise those TV picture tubes make when they implode. It was quite a shock.
Now I ask you, what modern big screen could do that and provide an unexpected and memorable experience of that sound quality, which by the way, you can still vividly recall some sixty years later. Bring back the tube TV’s.
