Does anybody have a CR23 kicad footprint they are willing to share. I am trying to make a neck board for a few of my custom monitors and am struggling trying to get the hole circle right.
I would happily pay for some help on this.

Thanks,
John

I have a couple, I can send my CRT footprints when I get home from work.
 
These are all sockets I used with my CRT breakout boards, one of these days I will finally make a github for my custom footprints and symbols. I probably should back them up considering that I have some 150+ custom footprints from over the past 7 years of PCB design. The center hole (that the plastic thing on the neck goes through) is a little bit off on the CR23 and CR30, but I've had no issue with them. If you are concerned, make the drill hole for that just a little bit bigger.

Kicad has a circular pin pattern footprint generator, I just never knew about it (or it might not have been a feature when I was first making these, I am not sure as I've updated Kicad a ton).

I was able to make the CRT adapter board with your footprint. I moved and enlarged the center through hole. I attached the design file in case anybody wants to make or modify some for themselves.
Thanks for the help.
