Thanks guys. The cover on my CTC-5 was still installed on the chassis, but I got lazy and haven't put it back on since the first time I took it off. I think I could possibly come up with a better cover that comes off more easily, any takers? If I did those in quantity, I would have everything digitized so reproduction would be simple. There's a company near my house called Dynacoil that does CAD drawing and steel laser cutting, but it ain't cheap...

HV chassis is now complete. I rattle canned the cage cover with flat black inside and out, then applied the stickers. These were just pictures of the ones from Bob's set that I printed out, then stuck on with glue stick. Time now to put the whole thing back together and see about getting it to play correctly, I hope to be done with a complete run through of all the setup adjustments by the end of next week. Then final cleanup/polishing of any cabinet parts, and final assembly. I think that stuff is going to get interrupted by a flight to France, though.

No CRT carry-on, but the thought did cross my mind to send a 21AXP22 over to practice on...
Here's what the completed chassis looks like, all assembled and ready to go back in.  And here's the back of the cabinet, just to illustrate how cramped it really is in there.

For some reason my camera has a little too much blue in it, so everything has a tint to it. I think I need to recalibrate the white balance or something, it looks a lot better in real life. First shot the yoke was a little skewed, I fixed it in the second shot.

Here are the results of the first round of convergence, just a rough touch up really. I had to do some futzing with the blue lateral magnet, but otherwise things seemed like they were more or less in line. As you can see in the picture, green still needs some attention. But it's looking better and better the more I work at it. Not far away from a great picture, I can feel it.

Round 2 of convergence completed, I don't think there's gonna be a round 3 because anything I try just makes it worse. Slight red fringe on the left, green on the right. This is as good as I was able to get it lined up, which is more than I can say for some of my other sets.

That looks terrific. I am sure that where you have it is better than most of that model when it left the factory. Even though the assembly technicians did it every day and it was their job, I suspect that they didn't have the dedication that you have.
Good on 'ya Mate!
