RCA CRT Type
 
Hi. I have a 1990 RCA XL-100 13" Color TV. The model number is E1315WN. The CRT is worn out. Does anyone know the CRT number, so I could try to find another CRT?

Is the label on the back of the tube missing? There should be a label on the side giving you the manufacturer, part number, etc.

No. I'm just worried that I'll get shocked

You will not get shocked if it's unplugged and you look without touching.
There will be no residual charge if it has been sitting turned off/unplugged for weeks or more.

Getting shocked by a crt is harmless. It hurts a lot for a split second, but otherwise completely harmless.

Are you missing a digit in that model number?

;) MadMan is right here , it's a good zap but nothing that's gonna kill ya (unless you got one foot in the grave already , and maybe not even then) . The worse danger is the nasty cut that you might get when you react to the shock , , you get zapped , freak out and pull your hand back out of the TV at 100MPH , and get sliced on some protruding edge of sheetmetal or such and get a few stitches & a nasty scar for your efforts .

Of course , a quick search here of "How to discharge a CRT" will produce an almost* foolproof method of insuring you never get to feel the juice .

* I say "Almost" because just as soon as ya go and declare something 100% great and totally foolproof , someone comes along and creates a greater fool .....
