The edge purity magnets were a little annoying when screwing on the bolt etensions, but not an impossible block. They may be redundant, though, as the bumpers with "hairpins" on the CTC-7 mounting ring are described as edge purity magnets.

I am definitely saving all pieces I remove!

If I could adapt the metal shield to hold the CRT, it would be more like the RCA adapter kit, but it has no mounting tabs, and as I said above, it is exactly the same size as the CRT "well," so it won't fit either inside or outside. Cutting notches and flaring it would probably work, but I'd still have the problem of attaching some sort of mounting tabs.

Still noodling, but maybe the best bet is to take the mounting ring to a metal shop and have them duplicate the straps, but 4 inches longer and with ends angled perpendicular to the face.

Edit - I really appreciate everyone trying to come up with some ideas.
