It's almost a year since I posted up anything about this set.

Work on the set continues.
The cabinet is ready for the final finish to be applied to the surfaces.
However, the plan was to use the original CRT mounting board, but now I'm having second thoughts about using it and the replica board is to be fitted instead. The CRT bulb sits on this board and the hole has to be chamfered to the correct angle to accommodate the shape of the tube. A special router tool was bought for this purpose. A piece of 9mm plywood with a 7 inch diameter hole cut out in it was to used so that the wheel on the router tool can be guided just away from the edge of the hole in the CRT board.
That job has been done and now I've turned my attention to the replica focus coil mounting board. Again the same router tool was used to make the chamfered edge in the four inch hole for the focus coil plate.
