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.

Nice work!
Out of curiosity, what repairs did the CRT need?
Obligatory safety disclaimer for people who want to repair old TVs: Messing with some of those electronics can be very dangerous.
The board was soaked and needed cleaning, the rca jacks were broken off and the screen had some deep scratches. I was only able to get the scratches about halfway polished out though, cerium isn't quite aggressive enough.
