I thought the reason not to open CRT monitors was the lethally high voltage that remains on the electron gun at the back for a very long time even if the monitor has been turned off and unplugged, the same as TVs?
I'll confess I've opened a CRT, but only to blow out a bunch of built-up dust with compressed air. I kept well away from any inner workings and slapped the case back on the second I was done.
