WG6100 color xy vector monitor with a few missing phosphors

I purchased a WG6100 (from a tempest) that I am repairing and am seeing that
it has a couple of missing phospors in the center. From looking around it
appears this may have been a failure of the spot killer circuit.

In one post I read that even this pinhole may cause the crt to leak
dangerous xrays.

Can someone set me straight on how bad of a situation I am looking at here?

Thanks

Nearly all 6100's have this issue. Unless your Xray cutoff circuit is bad,
your tube will not leak dangerous Xrays.

The phosphors dont block the X-Rays, the leaded glass in the front does.
