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.

I did think about vinyl cutting some stickers or getting something custom made up but I never decided on anything.

I'd recommend Rockin Monkey if you wanted to do stickers, they've been awesome when I've had them do orders. Unfortunately the smallest batch they'll do is 10. I'm guessing you don't need 10 TV stickers... I don't remember how small Spring will print.

I can do a couple quick mockups for you if you'd like. I'm just procrastinating at work.

Rockin Monkey

Oh no, I didn't need another custom printing company in my bookmarks list...

I might try to make a stencil, I've had good luck with those: https://i.imgur.com/MQHV2yu.jpeg

I love that! Sand blasted or etched?

Sand blasted. You can get one the size of an airbrush that is meant for cleaning jewelry (I think), it works awesome on glass.
