Repaired some broken solder joints, sanded out the biggest scuffs and polished most of the scratches out of the screen. Oh yeah, and the paint job.

Your new crt makes me happy!

I did think about vinyl cutting some stickers or getting something custom made up but I never decided on anything.
I’d recommend Rockin Monkey if you wanted to do stickers, they’ve been awesome when I’ve had them do orders. Unfortunately the smallest batch they’ll do is 10. I’m guessing you don’t need 10 TV stickers… I don’t remember how small Spring will print.
I can do a couple quick mockups for you if you’d like. I’m just procrastinating at work.

Oh no, I didn’t need another custom printing company in my bookmarks list…
I might try to make a stencil, I’ve had good luck with those: https://i.imgur.com/MQHV2yu.jpeg
That is sexy as fuck.
I was going to just repaint it in the original colours but ‘why not, why shouldn’t I make it awesome?’
That looks very good. Nice work
Ah yes. The ol’ “God dammit…I’ll do it later!” routine. I’m quite versed in the art of procrastination.
What you don’t know is that I typed this message 10 minutes ago. I’m just now getting around to hitting the “reply” button to post it.
Nice work!
Out of curiosity, what repairs did the CRT need?
Obligatory safety disclaimer for people who want to repair old TVs: Messing with some of those electronics can be very dangerous.
