I have a Mac SE FDHD whose CRT was broken prior to my acquiring it. Broken as in (from memory) the neck of the tube being broken...you can see specks on the front of the screen where it presumably imploded and something impacted it and damaged the phosphor coating. If you turn it on, it flickers and crackles from the back of the neck.
So here's the question...I know CRT's can be quite dangerous if not properly discharged. But - does a broken CRT hold a charge?
I am thinking of selling off the presumably good parts, disposing of the CRT, and building a Raspberry Pi or some sort of custom computer into the case of it. But obviously don't want to fry myself in the process!
Thanks,
Wesley
