That TV looks amazing! A fully vacuum tube high voltage power supply is cool to see in a color TV. Those shunt regulator tubes emit soft x-rays. The high voltage cage doesn’t just block accidental arcing. It also blocks the x-rays. Even without the cage, the x-rays probably can’t travel more than a few inches thru the air.
I currently have a dozen CRT TVs, but only one non-solid state TV. It uses semiconductor diodes in the flyback power supply. I am looking to see expand my non-solid state collection. The circuit designs are more beautiful when they are only tubes.
