Banding a tube, possible?

Would that work? This would have to be a bond between the glass and metal, which it doesn't seem like that stuff does.

We used to run into this all the time with the 19V Color CRTs. We saved mounting ears from old CRTs just for this purpose, and used the Magnavox 19" bands with the hose-clamp style adjuster. 25V CRTs could be done, but it was a hassle - you had to rivet two bands together.

Do you have another set of ears? Another band? Easy if you do, but impossible without either.

BTW, I have a bunch of CRT mounting stuff, sorry no bands, but lots of capture clamps, mounting bolts, and a handful of cabinet parts - angle brackets and the like. Dad was a hoarder, and hated buying anything hardware related. I probably have 30 sets of cabinet feet from metal and wood cabinet sets, along with leg plates, but no legs.

Yes, old tube has ears & new one doesn't. I don't have a replacement band, all the ones I could use are welded together, but I could pull the ears off. I have some hose clamp, but I wasn't sure that would work. I wouldn't want to break the tube tightening it down enough to support its weight.

I can't imagine anything that bonds sheet metal not being able to bond glass....having worked in autobody that stuff can stick anything together. Admittedly, I haven't tried it in this type of application though.
