An improved mounting system is disclosed for a cathode ray tube. Base bracket members are supported between the tube faceplate and the tension band of the tube. The base bracket member includes an upstanding portion extending at an angle from a foot portion and includes a tee shaped structure spaced from the foot portion. The tee shaped structure is positioned through an opening in the mounting bracket member. With the mounting bracket member positioned to thus receive the tee shaped structure of the base bracket member through the opening, the mounting bracket member may be rotated relative to the base bracket member to the mounting position. In this position, one surface of the tee shaped structure is supported against a base bearing surface of the opening in the mounting bracket member, with the tee shaped structure engaging the upper surface of the base bearing arm portion of the mounting bracket member. One portion of the mounting bracket member is thus supported against the underlying tension band and the other portion of the mounting bracket member at its toe against the tube structure.
