Just my two cents Dave (since everyone else is pitching theirs in). The rounded corners and moving the pcb to the bottom sounds like a great idea. To keep the 60's tv/oscilloscope look, hand wired knobs on the front would look real spiff if they were well dressed and colorful!

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.
