Thumbs up

Tim,

I'm really impressed with your surge of ambition in this project. You will find it much easier I think to put the degausing plate back around the CRT front with the chassis out.

Was the cover glass for the CRT clear or frosted? If frosted I've found that if you leave too much airgap the resultant picture may be fuzzy in the fine detail. I wouldn't go as much as 1/8th inch in this case. Mine was frosted and I could see the defocussing effect even with throat sticks (like popsicle sticks) and they are more like just 1/16" thick. If it was frosted and 1/8" spaced leave it now that it is done. It will probably be OK. You've a much more important challenge ahead, getting the chassis to work.

Rob
