Hi guys, just wondering if there's any obvious safety issues I'm breaking here...
I have a consumer CRT TV to put inside a home made arcade cabinet I made. Thing is, the speakers on the side make it too wide to fit (it's replacing a smaller one) So I'm intending on removing the case of the TV and building my own custom frame out of MDF and pine, so that it will fit.
However, I'm aware that the plastics used in electronic devices are made with a fire retardant chemical. So I'm kind of doing the opposite there by mounting the CRT tube to a flammable wooden frame. My concern is the high voltage area at the front of the tube.
What should I take into consideration to make this reasonably safe?
I attached a photo of the TV with the back off for reference. FYI the make and model is Panasonic TX-29FJ50A
