Yeah CRT anything is bad news to go tinkering with. High voltage components and the tubes can violently explode if you compromise them, I tossed a monitor into an empty dumpster once and very nearly soiled myself as it happened to fail just right. If you have one open and the CRT tube fails you could very well be picking tiny shards of glass out of your person.
