Touching the glass part even while it's powered on is no big deal. Might get a little static zap if the humidity is low but no worse than petting the cat. Use the same logic as not touching any energized electrical component.My question when it comes to CRTs is what part will actually zap you? Caps, fly back, anode I already know but what about the tube itself?
Yeah, just saying, it's no worse than breaking a glass or bottler. You won't have shards flying in every direction or anything like that.Correct, they implode, which can still be dangerous. Compact Mac screens are certainly less dangerous than smashing a huge TV intentionally, but I think it's still fair to keep in mind that you can end up with broken glass if you aren't careful.
