Quite so. But the CRT cathodes are indirectly heated Barium and/or Strontium Oxides on
nickel or such, which undergo some positive ion bombardment that could shake out some
(*e-) particles.
Also, electron bombardment of the Zinc "Salts" Phosphor and SiO2 glass, can shake out (*e-) as Auger
electrons.
We need volunteers with scopes and magnets. :-)
