RPTV CRT problem - will this cause radiation?

Posted by Andy on September 24, 1998 at 09:01:56:

A mishap happened with my RPTV that caused a power surge to the CRTs and left two of them with one small hole in the middle of each. The picture is viewable, although it will always look like a bug is on the screen. My concern is if I should worry about any radiation threat with a pinhole size hole in the middle of the red and green CRTs? I am not too knowledgeable about this.

I know fixing the problem would mean replacing both CRTs so I will probably get rid of the set, but I would rather not put my family at risk.
