Hi Jarl,
Looks brilliant, and it will look even better when you get it back inside it's case. This stops a lot of the light coming in from behind the tube and so improves the picture greatly. Also you mentioned the phospher being a bit thin around the edges, dont worry about this either as once the picture size is adjusted properly with the case on, you won't notice the very edges of the tube.
Nice repair and i'm glad it all worked properly after the initial aggro that you had.
All the best,
Alan.
