I remember an urban legend that surfaced when they were having problems with these shunt regulator tubes. The story goes that a woman had a cat which liked to nap under the new console color TV because it was warm. After a while, the cat started losing its fur. The vet diagnosed radiation exposure. The woman complained to the TV dealer who escalated the problem higher up until the radiation was measured underneath the console and found to be excessive.

Moral of the story: Don't let your cat nap under your console color TV.
