Has anyone run into this problem and is there an easy fix ? The 4 plastic "lugs" that are molded into the back of the picture tube cover are stripped. They must have had quite a workout in their lifetime. 3 are completely stripped, one is almost. I've thought of drilling them out slightly and epoxying some 8/32" nuts on the backside and using a couple of longer machine screws instead of the metal plastic thread screws, or are plastic "heli coils" available ? or maybe a plastic insert ?
