Could I have been exposed to anything when the glass shattered inside
the set or when I powered the thing on with the glass shattered?



No.


Do they still use mercury to flash the getter in the CRT gun assembly? I'd
be a little worried about that possbility.


Do you have any technical info sources that show mercury was ever used in
getters?
