@foone hmm...is it just high voltage electrons hitting the phosphors generating the x rays?

"CRTs can emit a small amount of X-ray radiation; this is a result of the electron beam's bombardment of the shadow mask/aperture grille and phosphors, which produces bremsstrahlung (braking radiation) as the high-energy electrons are decelerated. The amount of radiation escaping the front of the monitor is widely considered to be not harmful.'

Yes. To make sure it’s one of those atomic sources of ionizing radiation, those that you have to switch on, not one of the nuclear always-on sources.

Friend got one surplused from a university. It's being rehabbed for use at the local humane society, so they won't have to haul animals a couple of hours to the Big City.
