I've never tried it Chris. Possibly for a short time but back then all the TVs were cacked up with nicotine and open fire soot particles, most of which the customer never noticed or bothered the owners as the effect vanished after a very short period of time and did not return once it had vanished!

It's just a curious happening with these old and probably tired television receivers. I have seen some really weird effects during my 50+ years in the servicing trade including the appearance of test card C on the screen of a Mazda CRM141 that had it's neck broken off after having been standing on an open wood rack in the back yard... O.T. so you will have to guess the reason. J.
