Before you get too technical on it I recommend Taking a good hi res photo or cutting close to it and putting it in a Xerox machine so you have a good copy to fall back on if the original gets ruined.

Taking a photo is probably your option... then print it. You could play with the options in your photo/print/scan devices and try to make it "not look like a photograph" before you print out your final result to put inside the cabinet.

finished sanding the legs one set off the rca and other the zenith ,i quess i wait then clear coat last thing

You keep this up and you will have people coming to your house for cabinet work. Nice Job!

removed the tv orginal panel schematic transfer to photocopy, also found a factory repair on the production line ,iv noticed the upper right mighter joint didnt match the left now after removing side panel i see why,just loosen it it moved it over and re-glued it , i found that i had a sam's photofact allready in a lot i bought off ebay for this model so that worked out

If those leg caps are aluminum, they would shine up like mirrors with fine steel wool and water on the lathe...

Great job! it's nice to see someone getting these old Zenith sets going, no matter the condition. It looks AWESOME so far. I can't wait to see the finished set, with a bright color picture.

added the extra supports before i put on the panels there all glued & screwd ,i will need sand the glue joints where the panel will be placed . i will paint the inside the orginal color when finished.
