Alrightythen...

For you're consideration, I present one Ugly Admiral.

Maybe Tacky is a better word.

It might look good in a Retro Diner but in my Living room?!!!
Maybe it'll grow on me.

I had really wanted to try Turquoise but the color selection at Home Depot is pathetic, they must think there are only five colors in the world.
Purple they had, Turquoise or Teal forget it.

There are two more things to be done, one is to paint the bottom runners Black, the other is to paint a Gold Hammertone around the tube surround, not the whole thing, just that 1/2" ledge that will surround the CRT.

One other thing, I did a sloppy job of masking around the protruding face, it's ragged at the Red/White split so I'll have to touch that up a little.

I painted the new speaker board with that Camo paint that was recommended here, I hope I can find it later...being that it's camouflaged and all...
