Default Picture Tube Hazards

I have a TV/DVD/VCR combo. The DVD player started skipping and just
totally went out. I suspect that the lens is dirty but in order to clean
it I have to remove the DVD unit from the TV. There are a couple of
screws right below the picture tube that are going to be hard to reach.
My question is it ok if I touch the bottom of the tube and not get
electrocuted. I know about the hazards of touching the thick wire on top
of the tube but unsure about the tube itself.
