I seem to recall someone saying that 70's "loss leader" roundys did not usually have safety glass installed when they were built so I'd imagine if it was okay then it should be okay now. I've never had a roundy CRT implode (knock on wood) and I've got 4 sets and 6 total CRTs, all of which I've handled at some point. The one I cataracted above even got tapped with a hammer on the screen a few times and is fine so I'm not all that worried.
If it is really that dangerous(or if I can't achieve purity on this tube) I have a spare Zenith CRT that was already cataracted(by me) with the safety glass siliconed back on. There is a tiny part of me that wants to put the Zenith tube in anyway for better authenticity.
