I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I used to maintain a projection CRT. Beyond the insane PITA of trying to keep the 3 tubes aligned for more than a day, these things require scary amounts of electricity to operate.

The model I worked on had 40kV input for each CRT, and a disconnected CRT stores a charge like a capacitor, which is a real hazard if you're doing maintenance.
