scraches can be danger, i scached an old
BW tv years ago and some time in the night
the tube imploded, glass everyware.
Like a glass cutter, the damage from a scratch can affect glass deeper
than
the visible damage. Slight scratches are OK, but with deep gouges I'd
discard the monitor after discharging the CRT.
CRT Monitors are ridiculously cheap these days so it isn't worth it to
take
chances with safety.
However, note that CRT implosion protection has improved dramatically
since the early days of time bomb B/W TV tubes.
True, but all things considered, a deep gouge on a crt is not worth either
the slight increased risk of implosion or trying to correct it IMHO. Also,
unlike TVs, people tend to sit very close to monitors, and even what could
be classed as a relatively safe implosion on a TV could be disastrous on a
monitor. A few years ago a 17" monitor for example would cost hundreds so
polishing out scratches was sometimes worthwhile, now they're about 65 UKP.
