Orion 310GNB31 Tube

[Username1]

Back in HS 1980 I took BOCES for tv repair, Almost all our sets were donated, And me and a friend worked on a tv that needed a picture tube, we just measured the front, same so we put it in the set we were working on, not many things fit right, and the tube was 5" longer so we could not put the back on it, so we double-deckered a back cup over it.... The front had spaces because the dimensions were not quite right.... But the plug fit, and we stuffed paper towels around the neck to take up space with the yoke. Not the strangest thing we ever did there..... You can imagine the fun you can have with electronic stuff exploding each day.....

The dam thing worked.....

In other words.... If you can make it fit......then just do it....

Oh man, sounds like the way some guys do automotive bodywork.
