Well don't worry, I did read the video description so I know that you did this over 30 years ago. Out of interest, what exactly did you do to the TV to cause that reaction (I don't require actual instructions, just to be clear as I've no intention of trying this my self)

@TheMrbum ... The TV did not do that by itself.. we removed all of the guts and put in explosives.

why do u wanna destroy vintage tvs. they are so rare to find

[tvengineer8]

@400sean As has been said in these comments before.... This video was made nearly 30 YEARS AGO.. The T.V. was not "vintage" back then... If you wrecked a 57 Chevy in 1957 you were not destroying a classic car.. just a car.. get over it.

@SuperSmasher97 IT was blown up in like 1983... it wasn't "vintage" then.. just an old TV... sorry

Blow up a modern set, it would be pulverized on the first attempt. I think that is saying something about how well engineered that stuff was compared to today.

[TheMrbum]

@tvengineer8 That makes sense. I wondered if there was some sort of reaction or modification. Well now I know. Thanks.

Id do this to a plasma tv before i'd do it to one of these
