    I've read 50kV.  Deadly ... easily.   By far not a safe project IMHO.

  Voltage is only part of the story and you can't draw any conclusions about the lethality of the situation without knowing the current involved. But I agree that safety is paramount and I wouldn't take something like this on without being extremely careful.

    CRTs have the ability to act like a capacitor and store the charge when unplugged and rebuilds the charge after discharge if it has been subjected to high voltage for a long time though I've never known one not to rebuild some charge.
