The problem is that the left side holes don't line up at all (I think they're off by just one diameter), and the unshielded vert tube on the left cannot go further forward. I don't think enlarging the holes in the plywood base and shimming to keep the chassis from going forward the extra 1/4 inch is a big deal. I just want to be able to move the set without having the chassis slide around and hit tubes against the CRT or straps. As you can see, the mounting holes had some slop anyway, which was OK before, but needs to be tightened up now. As long as the control knobs fit, the chassis could stay in the new position even if I got an original CRT to install at a later date.
