It is not just the face of the tube that emits X-Rays, the glass on the
bell housing can (I am pretty sure) leak as well. A common use for this
13" monitor was in cocktail tables. So the face of the tube is shown to
the players and the bell housing, well let us just say it is pretty much
inline with your waist on down...

Not wanting customer gonads to glow in the dark was my main impetus for
finding a simple, yet reliable solution that did not defeat the internal
over-voltage X-ray shutdown process.
