Greg,
I agree with Gaston, the balance of my latest scope clock is wrong. All
the complexity and interest is at the front panel, so the big, mostly
empty box looks wrong.
Better to have the PC board fill the bottom, to distribute the
complexity along the depth of the CRT.
It's interesting to me how many times I have tried to design this
package, and how few attempts have actually worked well (only my 2001
design). It's a very tricky design task. Especially for someone who's
mostly an engineer, not an industrial designer.

Easy fix: Use black solder-mask, instead of green.
My big clock (pictured on my icon) is a 14-inch diameter PCB with over
1000 components visible. The black solder-mask (actually more of a very
dark green) mutes the PCB's color; IC packages, SMT resistors, and many
electrolytics are also black. Anything you dont want to be visible from
the front, usually connectors, get mounted on the back-side.
