A topic for open discussion. The Uri Geller syndrome? If glass slumping is a phenomenon, safe storage in the Space Station?

Never seen a CRT with this effect despite being horizontal and heavy with weighty scan coils and magnets on the neck. Odd?

As for pride of work, I have had many octal valves, mainly of US manufacture, where the base cap has been fitted cack handed. And they are not loose ones that have been reglued either.
I suppose when production was king and valves were coming to an end anything that could be sold would of been. The war production too may have lead to an over hasty production schedule in some areas.
I also have a few misshapen B9A valves and they were all machine produced.
