Apropos of conversation elsewhere, any other Gen X Brits remember CUB monitors?

“Let’s put an electron gun and high frequency electromagnets inside a steel box and then give it to 8 year olds because we hate kids and think electrocuting them is funny!”

I never found one that wouldn’t give you a hell of a jolt after it had been on for an hour or two.
