Hello all,

I recently picked up a 27" television tube to be converted using the 8-liner chassis.  After removing the t.v. casing I'm left with the 4 mounting "ears" on the corners of the screen but nothing else to secure the tube.  Is there somewhere I can buy a mounting frame that will fit a 27" tube to allow easy cab-mounting?  I've been looking on e-bay but haven't been able to find anything so far...

Thanks,
-Ace-

Just lay the tube down on a sheet of 3/4" plywood and trace around the tube and cut out your tracing and mount it in the hole by the ears. Thats the way japanese cabinets used to be in the 70s and early 80s.
