Otherwise, I'm calling this project done. Thanks for all the compliments and help guys

Here's a little video.

Here are some before and after pictures. Ooops I forgot to clean some of that crud off the CRT before installing it


There are a few minor details left like filling in the recessed lettering with gold paint. I'm also going to print out some reproduction labels based on some from other sets. I think I'll try to make a new back and making an "M" logo too.

Time to finish that Admiral 20X122 finally!

See, just like I told you way back in post #9, this set's not worth fooling with!
