I just saw a DEC terminal manual (for the VT420, IIRC) that discussed
disposal of a bad CRT - they said that you should take a pair of
pliers, snip off the little "encapsulation" "nub" and release the
magic. An uncompressed CRT is probably not a problem.

They also mentioned putting the tube in a box, with just the "yoke"
exposed...

see VT100.net for further info...
