I'd keep the tube mounted to the chassis as it was, leave the cabinet the same, and make an inner mask to go behind the 19" one in the cabinet and keep most or all the front chassis CRT support out of sight. This would keep both the chassis and cabinet virtually unmodified so if a cabbinet you like better becomes avalible etc. you can put every thing back as it was easily and not have to (un)modify the proto set at all.
Double, triple or even quadruple masks don't bug me (they can even look awesome IMO in some cases) at all as long as they are executed well, and one can argue that 15GP22 sets were at least visually like that due to the mask in the tube.
Just thinking out loud.
