Got my Motorola Mask!!

[Eric H]

Sweeet! This thing is excellent.

First thing I did when I got home tonight was install it.

It's a little tricky to install, it's a little loose in the case and you have to push the CRT firmly in so it expands and locks in, the mask is a little sticky so it's a bit difficult to get the CRT to slide into the mask with it in the cabinet.

I solved this problem with a little water based lubricant (i.e. KY jelly or equiv) applied to the mask, this lets the tube slide around but it shouldn't deteriorate the rubber.

I placed the cabinet face down on a table with a rag under it, I pressed firmly down on the bell of the tube and tightend the clamp.

(tip, fire the set up before you start mark the center line of the tube, this will make it much easier to get the picture level without having to pull the chassis several times like I did)

Many thanks to Blacksmith, you should be able to sell a few hundred of these!
