It depends on the set.... A 3" Pilot won't work at all with the HV cover off, based on one I worked on forever before figuring that out. Probably the proximity of the CRT to the FBT. Others will work, but with color sets, it will allow X-ray escape. Not that I'm one of the believers in any bodily harm from TV X-rays, but it's probably just wise to keep the box closed on color sets.
