Somehow I do not find all this much interesting. Probably because I
worked on stuff that makes a CRT seem like low power equipment. I once
blew a powerline transformer off the pole (they should have used one
rated at more than a thousand amps). And the stuff I worked on was
nothing compared to what a linesman may work on in the rain (22KV/10KA).
So be careful around those CRT's (never seen anyone burnt to a crisp by
one, BYMMV).

The HV and no user serviceable parts warnings are there for a reason,
having worked on high powered tube broadcast transmitters I learned
very early never to touch HV gear until it's been properly grounded
and discharged :-)
