Are you going to be painting that chassis then?

I forgot to mention Step 1: Spray paper labels with clear Lacquer to keep them from getting wet!
I will probably spray it lightly with some silver paint, it's blotchy because the Mouse urine ate away the plating wherever it touched, which is most of the top. It also turned the control shafts green.
I already painted the accessories like the HV cage, Yoke support and cabinet back.
What I thought was an aftermarket screen added under the CRT appears to be factory because it's attached with rivets. There was a small piece of this attached to the cabinet where the back goes also but it was just stuck under the metal brace across the cabinet, not OEM looking at all.
Maybe back in the day small OEM looking Rivets were easy to come by?

can you confirm if other chassis use this screen?
