John Folsom and I wrestled over this issue a few months back on a ctc7 set. Neither one of us could figure out how to remove the glass without removing the crt from the back side and taking all the trim appart. It appeared that if we were able to remove the trim at the top of the glass, there was a high likelyhood that the trim would get bent or damaged in the process.

If there is a way to do this without destrouing the retaining strip at the top of the glass, I would shure like to know how you did it. It does not seem possible to remove the trim without damaging it. But a person would have to asssume that RCA must have provided a method to get the safety glass off so a person could clean the inside, without removing the crt and all associated hardware.

Has anybody actualy done this from the front and if so what is the trick????
