I did my a spell repairing CRT's during my apprenticeship but the thing 
that I was wary of was the + and -80V telex busbars even the telephone 
50V ones would melt a spanner very quickly.
I had a few shocks from 160v DC and a few from 240 AC - I wonder if 
thats why I can feel the static on freshly printed output from a laser 
printer and hate wifi ;-)
