On a modern TV, zero risk, I've seen people *try* to make Xrays with a TV
CRT and have very little success, there's just too much lead in the glass.

Better to look at "The Amateur Scientist" in "Scientific American". I'm sure
they have had a do it yourself X-Ray generator.

Typically they use an old high voltage rectifier tube. Never heard of
using a CRT.
