I did most of the work back in May, and have been too busy since then to get back to it. Now that it's working, I need to get the cabinet cleaned up and looking nice. I like the way the top comes off the cabinet, exposing all the working parts. One thing I'm not entirely sure about, is how tight to make the band which holds the CRT to the base board. I don't want to overdo it, for obvious reasons.
Tighten it till there's no wiggle or it is too small of a wiggle for anything to work loose.
