I'll do it then, and compare the numbers and boards etc, and check
apple-history to make sure the resolutions were the same, which I think they
were.

The good old british postal service 'happened' to the other CRT. They
dropped it when it was being transported and snapped the wee glass guide off
the back, as well as doing some internal scraping damage with the HD carrier
since it wasn't fastened in properly; I had a spare case, drive and CRT so a
transplant should've been really simple! Duh.

cheers!
