Don't be. I've worked in and around the crt and analog board hundreds of times. Not once have I ever gotten electrocuted. I've even taken apart an SE/30 after 1 minute of powering down. The larger amount of electricity has been dissipated by the bleed resistor.

Now large screen crt TV sets, on the other hand, those are more dangerous, since the power is much higher and you do run into a particular model without that bleeder circuit. Even TV sets from the 1920s through the early 1970s have more chances of fatality than your SE/30. How else have these old sets been nicknamed the "widow maker"?
