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.
Mercury is not good for you, but contacting it once in your life won't
hurt anything. I wonder sometimes about those compact fluorescent lamps
that so often end up in the trash, every one of them contains mercury.
