I was on the fence to veneer over the existing or re side it, based on you outcome the residing option is looking stronger. I have few projects ahead of it now. so it will be a while. I am finishing up on a RCA 8-T-241 chassis only project (no cab, it will be a chassis display piece, also good for testing CRT's).
But I also have a couple CTC-5's that have really shot to he%% top and that would be one that the reside approach would be the only option. |

i remember early on when some of you guys were talking about the picture tube , heres a new twist when i was cleaning it up the lenz about fell off ,what does that say do remanufactures repair pva problems when rebuilding the guns ,it looks like also someone replaced the flyback before hitting the barn. i just went ahead and cleaned everything up put double side tape 1/6 thick its realy automotive molding tape, centered it stuck it down good took high temp rvt injected all around the edge left 2inch open gap , let it set up good set it in todays boiling sun for about 1/2 hour sealed the gap let cool down hopefully now its vacuum sealed alittle from moister. oh yah i found two scratches in the lenz ,they only show at the certin angle.

Sometimes they do practically fall off. Dont leave any prints or dust in there otherwise your eye will go right to it everytime you look at it. Use some thin narrow weatherstriping(the black stuff) and run some packing tape along the edge. This is the easiest way and works very well. Much easier than the 2 sided 3m tape and silicone and more forgiving if you dont center it correctly. There is no drying time. Just a thought.
