Must have been a good sized candle in the back of the TV ! B&W or Colour ?
That would require R, G and B candles I suppose.

We have a lot of people coming and going on the farm, volunteers, renters,
visitors, etc.
One guy who was so superstitious and irrational that he would use a cell
phone, but wouldn t eat food cooked in a microwave used the microwave AS A
TIMER for his stove-top cooking! Note that he didn t use the timer function
on the microwave; he actually TURNED THE THING ON for the duration he wanted to
cook on the range!
These things aren t meant to operate no-load, and eventually it quit working. I
opened er up, and found the HV power supply cap was shorted. Rummaged around
the shop and found something similar and installed it still wouldn t power up.
Then I found that the over-temp thermal breaker was permanently open. Just
shorted that sucker out next time we have an idiot using the microwave for a
timer, we ll just replace it and take it out of his security deposit.
Sheesh. Kids these days. When I was his age, we had to watch television by
candlelight, because they hadn t invented electricity yet!
