The rear cover that came with mine looks it may fit more than one model.

Ah. Thanks. Well. It was like that, so not my fault. Actually now it makes sense - blue for electrons, black for the base.

I flipped it around and it seems to have made no difference in the clarity of the image. Perhaps I should readjust horizontal. However, I had to shove it all the way forward on the neck, touching the focus coil. Which I might move it back a bit so the focus can be adjusted, but hey on the plus side, the focus coil gets to be a lot more straight now.

Idk, how awful would it be to put it on backwards? I'm concerned that in the future if the focus coil adjuster gets bumped, it'll snap the crt neck, what with the magnet butting up against the coil.
