In hindsight, she's probably very lucky she didn't hurt or poison herself in the process

How come? A tiny circuit board isn't anything like thin vials of mercury or the like.

    CRT tvs have pretty big capacitors that zap you good and hard if you touch em funny.

    Older boxes are probably long since dishcharged BUT many many tinkerers will plug it in first to see if it still works just for shits and grins and those caps will take juice given the chance….

    I have. I thought it was replaced with a newer console. The comment doesn't specify "crt tv" and it would be weird if that's how one would refer to tvs of that age. Having nes is much morr specific than just having a TV.
