Just make sure you know where the high-voltage connector is, and how
to discharge it, these things can hold a lethal charge long after you
unplug them...

A high voltage shock from a CRT will definitely get your attention but
"lethal?" Only if your reaction the the shock causes you to fall out the
window or come into contact with something that's REALLY potentially lethal:
the line cord.

That's not to say that you don't take precautions. Getting a shock when
working on electronics is proof you haven't been as careful as you should
have been.


IIRC you want to clean around the high-voltage power
supply, lead, and tube connector with isopropyl.
