TV tube question

[Shell]

The 27" TV tube was damaged by sharply stone. No crack found but spot seem
to deeply.
Is it dangerous for watching anyway? Does it cause to explode?

TIA

Please post make and model and chassis number off back of tv if available as
well as year of manufacture. If you can see inside the tv set with a
flashlight through the vents, try and get the numbers off the picture tube.
Also post where you live in case someone has a good used tube they can
install in the set.

Some tubes are more susceptable to implosion than others. I have seen tubes
implode with what looked like as little as 1/8th of an inch chip in the face
of it. The tubes glass is under extreme pressure from the atmosphere.
