Pulled the chassis, it's one heck of a dirtball. Dirt mixed with nicotine, actually.
The CRT and mounting hardware didn't fare any better, basically anything with voltage moving through it attracted this crap. The crud eventually soaked up moisture, so anything made of steel has a nice patina on it now. Probably the worst smokers set I've seen yet.
Oddly, the yoke cover was almost completely intact. Usually these things are disintegrated, but only the edges on this one were deteriorated. All the same, I decided to replace it with one of the ones Bob made. They fit really nice, just drill 4 holes and mount the old shield to it with non magnetic hardware.
