Just wondering in case I find a set like this.
Edit: I know about removing faceplates from roundies. Are rectangular tubes similar?

There are two types of cataracts RCA (white/moldy), and Zenith (green) they affect both roundy and rectangular CRTs of the 60's-mid 70's. The type of CRT does not affect removal, but the type of cataract does. Zenith types require heating the glue in the sun (or heating the wire), and using guitar wire to cut through the old glue (followed by cleaning the goo off the separated glass), RCA type cataracts requires heat (sometimes with prying) or long term submersion in water (glue needs to be submerged 2 weeks to 6 months IIRC).
