The arcade CRT's are different from TV CRT's, the voltages are a lot higher (I heard 10.000 volt somewhere) and therefore quite dangerous to handle even. This is also the reason the colors were much brighter in the arcade then on your home system connected to your TV.
- c3833174 10y agoThe voltage is related to display size, a 17" monitor might run on 27kv while a 32" might run on 34kv, but at higher voltages more X-rays are emitted so most TVs have safety mechanisms to limit voltage. As for the safety I'd expect anybody servicing arcades to know what they're doing.
