Fortunately, no overspray on the chassis... The metal those were made from, turns powdery white with oxidation.

Charles that whitish dust would be the cadmium plating oxidizing forming CdO or ...it may even have a slight yellowish appearance if cadmium sulphide forms. Be sure to wash your hands after handling the chassis or wear gloves ... the oxides are quite toxic. Exposure can cause a flu-like illness called metal fume fever. ....well not that you were going to eat the TV but you've got quite an affection for Kaye
