Well just got back from Radioshack and they did have a 3 piece set of anti-static TV alignment tools for $1.47. The part number is 64-2230 (obsolete I am sure) and I think I grabbed the last set. So the SE/30 now looks much better except for being centered a little to the left (I believe you need to move the levers on the back of the CRT yoke to fix that and I did not bother).
Oddly enough I just read the back of the tag and it says CAUTION: Conductive nylon - avoid high voltage.
