Eric, you won't get a super bright raster with no signal. Once you give it video, you should get very bright highlights in the video. The CRT does emit soft X-rays, as it is operating at 20KV. A little exposure wont' hurt, but you don't want to spend hours and hours with the CRT facing you in the barrel. Point the barrel away from you on the bench, and observe it through a mirror. That will minimize your exposure.
