John,

I had a real bad cataract on an Admiral rectangular tube (knackered anyway). The safety glass was as you described. I inverted the tube in a container large enough to hold it safely and placed the cleaned glass right on it. At that close a distance to the screen, the fuzzy surface will appear clear. I just ran a large bead of clear silicone around the perimeter of the screen. The picture (as bad as it was) looked like there was never a cataract. I then sealed the edges with packing tape. I have before and after pics on my site.
