Yes, a '''CRT can kill you''' with the electrical charge it carries.
And yes, older TV sets '''DO''' use CRTs, so you can kill yourself working on them as well.
So don't do it. Pay someone else (who has all the correct equipment and health insurance) to do it.
'''There's no shame in asking for help.''' After all, Superman has the Justice League to help him out when he needs it.
Let me say it this way: Any repair procedure that advises you to only use one hand and keep the other behind your back so you don't complete a circuit across your heart is something you really don't want to mess with, IMHO.
