Great Job Crist
I noticed you used that black foam under the CRT. I used something just like that on the bottom of a Motorola VT-71 set a couple of months ago. After about 2 weeks of weight on it, about 25 pounds it flattened out. It lost almost all of it's ability to cushion the set. I ended up using heavy felt pads instead. I brought this up because I didn't want your CRT to get real loose in the tension strap.
