B&W HDTV in cabinet that had no chassis

[Eric H]

I did something similar with this empty Admiral cabinet.
I picked this up when I bought a Predicta off eBay, when I went to pick it up the seller threw in this faded, gutted cabinet.

The Screen mask was too fogged to be usable so I removed it and found a CRT set that had a tube that fit perfectly in the space, a later model Sony with 480P inputs and a flat faced CRT.

I removed the Sony from it's cabinet and built a wood frame to hold the CRT and chassis, no mods were done to the cabinet.

I made a set of dummy shafts to hold the knobs but haven't got around to finishing it yet. I drilled a small hole in the on/off knob and mounted the power indicator LED inside, power can be operated by pressing the knob, other functions are controlled with a remote since there are no pots on the Sony.
