You can safely let the air in (or vacuum out) of a CRT
by breaking the
"tit" on the back end of the CRT where the air was evacuated. It may be
covered by the plug for the electrical connections. If it is then just
break the plug off. The glass is very thin there and I've seen may people
just use a karate chop motion with almost any metal object to break the end
of the tit off. That will let the air in and the rest of the tube stays
intact.
I just did that accidentally to a Mac SE. :-( I was trying to remove a
cable from the innards and my hand slipped and wacked the board on the
back of the CRT and skewed it far enough to bust that little tit. Now I
have *more* spare Mac parts.
