Yep you've got that right! When I did my 25" Motorola colour tv, I marked the worm gear on the band before I took it apart, and it was much tighter than I would have expected glass to take.

This one is more of a strap holding it down, than a band like newer TVs have. It rests on two mounting points, and the strap goes only on the top and sides. I wish Marconi gave me a torque spec in inch pounds, for the retaining screws. I think it's good now, though.

On another topic, I need to find some tubes for the tuner. I sure can't complain about the price of tubes for this TV, the only semi expensive one is the horizontal output, and I have a few of those in my misc. Junk.
