I think I had a equally rusty identical chassis out of a basement of a repair shop, I stripped it of parts but some remain...

If that chassis didn't have the rear bump out (which means plastic or metal back) I'd offer you a spare particle board back off of an admiral wide console I parted after flyback failure.

these always work for me!

Not a bad set to deal with. FBT's were common fail. Any Admiral
tube job with a 6EW6 1st vid amp needs a new one every few yrs.
They dont pass the highs & you loose detail. Example is someone
with brown hair will just show solid brown hair. A new 6EW6 brings out
individual hairs & really perks the pix up.
BTW we used butter knifes to pry open LCD sets held by claws.
you may try that also.
BTW # 2 My squaw just had cataract removed from one I. She said
its like adding a comb filter to a color TV. HUGE improvement in
resolution

I've never worked on anything new enough to use those. Usually I use a small screwdriver to pick some chunks out but couldn't think of how to accurately describe how thin... Generally you want something with a 1/8" diameter shaft or smaller....I've got plenty that I'll continue to use.
