Repaired and repainted a curbside CRT to match my NES. - eviltoast

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.

      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.

              Sand blasted. You can get one the size of an airbrush that is meant for cleaning jewelry (I think), it works awesome on glass.

                My mom’s been doing stained glass for years, so she’s got one of the decent ones. I’ve been dying to do some projects with that and her Cricut…

                Not sure how Lemmy’s gonna butcher this, it looks like it played nicely. Did a couple versions. Tried to be as close to the original kearning and font ratios as I could just eyeballing it. I’m more a fan of the top one, personally. Feel free to use it if you do decide to do it. Let us know how it turns out!

                  Those kick ass! If I can get a decent vinyl cut I will go with the top one. It looks pretty legit. Thanks!
