Summary
The sure thing. Famous brand 19" 100% solid state color TV. The outstanding buy in color television from internationally famous manufacturer. A deluxe 19" color set with advanced-design 100% solid-state chassis for super reliability. Newest "state-of-the-art" in-line gun, slotted mask, black matrix picture tube for one of the best color pictures you've seen at any price.
Notes
For the first time turning it on in likely decades, cement resistor R008 on the power board emitted some smoke (100 ohm, 20W). But this was temporary and it worked fine from then on with no smoke being emitted.
This CRT is confirmed to be a hot chassis, possibly with very slow high voltage bleeding.
Hot Chassis means that "ground" on the chassis is tied to one side of the AC input from the wall, and touching it with your hand will complete a live circuit through your body to earth ground if the CRT is plugged into an AC outlet. The proper way to avoid this danger is to use an isolation transformer to isolate the CRT from earth ground and prevent electrocuting yourself.
Very slow high voltage bleeding means the picture tube itself retains a considerable amount of energy until manually discharged with an appropriate tool. Once discharged, remove the anode cap to prevent any static electricity recharging capacitors on the main board. There also may be stored energy on any capacitors near the flyback - look for 200v+ rated capacitors which are directly on the screen/G2 circuit and short them safely with a cheap set of discharge probes off Amazon. Repeat the same process for any large-diameter power supply filter capacitors to ensure the board is completely drained of energy.
