Still working on it... hobby plastic attempt was a no-go... second idea involved left-over garage door weatherstripping shows some promise. Cross section of the weatherstripping was about correct to cushion the front of the CRT, and provide a decent outside trim.



I cut the weatherstripping to the correct length, formed a circle and glued the ends together. Followed up with several thin coats of flat black rattle-can vinyl spray.



I likely will try to fabricate the 3:4 mask out of hobby plastic and glue it to the weatherstripping. Still a work in progress, and far from ideal, but it's better than nothing.
