Naomi CRT Swap issue
« on: May 05, 2022, 06:17:04 am »
Hi folks!

I have one Sega Naomi Cabinet, the original Toshiba Tube (A68KJU96X) was very damaged, so I swapped the original 29' Toshiba tube for a 29' Philips one (A68ESF002X11 borrowed from a tv).

The Philips tube is mounted *USING* the Toshuba tube original yoke, so the Philips tube is working with the chassis Nanao MS-2934.

Notice that unlike the Toshiba one, the Philips tube don't have magnetic rings, it has the magnetic adjustments made in the factory, inside the electron gun.



The image quality is really amazing, the problem is that I newer get the color purity fixed and always have blue magnetic spots at right corners

I have tried the demagnetizer of the cabinet, it removes something but the spots come out again instantly.



Using the corrrect orientation, I've tried adjusting the yoke by moving it along the neck of the tube, rotating it, tilting it to either side, etc.

Notice that if I move the yoke all the way back, the circle that appears on the screen is moved to the left, I suspect that is the problem.



How I can I fix this? If needed I can add the magnetic rings from another tube to this one, I tried to adjust the chassis but no result.

Thanks in advance!.

typically there are chevron shaped magnets attached all over in mas produced tv tubes used to help get things lined up better.

that said... it looks like it's a simple degauss issue here. the purity is good except for some areas in the corner, you usually have to degauss the screen, as the frame of the arcade monitor usually has some pretty hefty magnetic fields stored in it over the years. the old tube would be already degaussed to this metal being so near it.

your TV tube was sitting in a plastic case with no metal around it when it was setup and degaussed so you'll need to degauss this new tube so it's in sync with the magnetic fields all around it now.

Thanks you for you reply! I have already used the degauss button of the machine, the screen "jumps" and the spots disappear but reappear immediately.

Maybe did you refer to other method? Then how effectively demagnetize the tube?

I have googled and found that this Philips tube originally the magnetic rings are included in the yoke, so when I removed the yoke and plugged the Toshiba one, I left the tube without magnetic rings, than can be the cause.

If not, why if I move the yoke all the way back, the circle that appears on the screen is moved to the left?

Thanks !  ;)

because you are affecting the election beam before it has a chance to begin accelerating from the guns. you are probably deflecting particles or making them emit from someplace they aren't supposed to by yanking them out with the magnetic field from the yoke.

the degauss coil on the outside of the tube is good enough to remove a small residual field, but not powerful enough to realign it. you will need to buy/borrow/steal/pay someone to do it with a specific device. you can buy cheapy ones off ebay for like 20 bucks... i dont know how good those are. probably worth a try though. i have a huge industrial type degauss coil (about 14 inches in diameter) for doing CRT's.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/393969713049?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3Dcf59e465cdf44a3bb58156e13c270003%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D165009205054%26itm%3D393969713049%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1

plug it in, power on the monitor... move in close to the front of the screen, turn it on an wave it around in a circle around the outside of the face as you move  backwards... 1 circle..move back a little...one more...move back... till you are hardly affecting the screen...youll be about 2 or 3 feet away then turn it off.

I have a couple of those cheap degaussing wands and they work fine.

Word of warning - don't operate them continuously for more than about 10 seconds or so. They will get quite warm and if you leave it on it will start to melt the casing.

If that doesn't work, it may be possible that you need to use some color purity rings with that philips tube/toshiba yoke combo.
Check out my completed projects!

Hi!

I have already ordened one of these form aliexpress (11,90 €):



I have also built a degauss coil taking it from a 25' dead tube.



I will try it and and comment how it was.

Thanks you a lot for your help  :cheers:

Hi!

Ok thanks, I will use it carefully. I can get some complete magnetic rings kit form 28' CRTs that I have in storage.

Thanks!

Hi!

Have tried the made by me degauss coil, no result the spots still there. The effect it produced in the screen is like the cabinet degauss coil, seems low powered.

 :-[ Waiting for the Aliexpress one.

Unfortunately, you cant just twist an existing degauss coil into a loop like that, as you end up with parts of the coil tuning one direction and other parts of the loop turning in the opposite direction then when you try to use it. this is because the degauss loop (if you pull it out into it's biggest loop as it was), the wire goes in and then around 30 or 40 times then back out again with a magnetic field that goes in a direction on one side...and the "opposite" to the side facing you on the other. (see pic for a single wire representation of the coil wire magnetic field)  when you twist it into a smaller loop like that, you end up turning the other side of the loop back in the opposite direction back over itself...so, most of the magnetic field produced ends up running back in the opposite direction, canceling itself out. You would need to pull all the wire out and rewind it into a (smaller) continuous direction loop for it to work. (so that all the magnetic fields produced go in the correct direction.

an easy solution is if you have a big electric soldering gun like this, you can use it as a rudimentary degausser, as on the inside, it has a large coil of wire same as a commercial type degausser.

Any news on this?  Sorry, but I'd really like to know if the chassis does work on the Philips tube.

Btw. I've read on other forums that the factory pre-adjustment of Philips tubes does only work with the original yoke.
AFAIK (or remember) the plastoferrite sleeve that sits towards the back of the yoke is the part that is adjusted, and if using another yoke,
 the usual magnetic rings have to be used.

most color TUBES are the same... about the only difference is if it's a single focus or dual focus gun setup. otherwise the pinouts and everything are the same irrespective of the gun directions (horizontal or triode stacked or whatever is moot.)

the main difference is the yoke, they are all almost different and depend on the frequency being driven and whatnot... and if you change the old yoke over to the donor tube, it's nothing to worry about.

Hi!

Except for the magnetic stains, the tube works pefect.

I have still waiting for the degauss tool form aliexpress, or to make the mine as lilshawn explained.


I'll comment when I try it.

Thanks

Hi!


The aliexpress degausser didn't worked, it's like using the chassis one.

So I need to try to buy or to build one like lilshawn explained.

Thanks!

Have you tried putting magnetic rings from another yoke/tube or restoring the original magnetized sleeve yet?

Hi!

If I can't demagnetize it, I plan to try putting magnetic rings form another tube, and then adjust it.

Thanks!

Hi!

I have a Sanwa 29es31 chassis on hand

Is this chassis compatible with the original Naomi/Nano tube/yoke (Toshiba A68KSM696X)?

Remember that I am using the A68KSM696X yoke with the philips tube.

Thanks!

you need a special meter called an LCR meter to properly measure the horizontal and vertical yoke windings and see if they are close enough to the original.

your horizontal inductance should be within about ~0.05 uH and the vertical within ~0.3 uH without having to change anything and your regular screen controls can make up for the difference... otherwise you are looking at changing tuning the capacitors in the horizontal to try and make up for it. any further than ~0.15 uH on the horizontal and ~1uH on the vertical from the original, will likely blow up the chassis when powered on.



you can KIND OF measure it with an ohm meter to find out if it's close, but your really need to find out what the natural oscillation frequency of the coils are otherwise they yoke will fight the current being put out by the chassis and run really hot... or just plain blow up when you first power it on.

the yoke is essentially a coil of wire that has a natural flow of current in and out and does not create resistance. if operated outside of this natural flow in and out, the coil resists the change and becomes a blockage in the circuit. other parts of the circuit relying on this current flowing through unrestricted will fail.

Hi!

Ok I know how to measure ohms and inductance of yokes, I have done it before.

The Toshiba yoke LH is around 0,20 that meets the nanao chassis.

The sanwa chassis is compatible with the toshiba A68KSM696X, as described in the service manual.

Toshiba (A68KSM696X):

Lh   0.196mh
Lv   13.8mh
Rh   0.6 ohms
Rv   6.9 ohms

I have another philips tube (A68ESF002X43):

Lh    0,309 mh
Lv   5,2 mh
Rh   0.340 ohms
Rv   4,680 ohms

Remember that I'm using a philips tube (A68ESF002X11) with the Toshiba original yoke (A68KSM696X)

If I hypothetically use directly the A68ESF002X43 philips tube including his original yoke, with the nanao or the sanwa chassis, I would have to modify the chassis to make it compatible with the philips yoke's Lv   5,2 mh, in that case what capacitos need to be changed? and what values?

Thanks!

unfortunately, major modifications such as this are outside the scope of my expertise... but with the inductance values of those coils being as out as far as they are with each other as they are, i suspect the donor tube's yoke has been designed with its own frequency in mind and modifying the cassis enough to drive it would greatly reduce the yokes lifetime... allow me to explain a bit.

when a company designs a yoke for a tube, you tune it to be near the oscillation frequency you plan the ultimate output to be. ideally you'd have it at the same frequency as a single scanline to be the most efficient. of course, there is a fair bit of leeway either way and we often sacrifice efficiency for the convenience of an already existing off-the-shelf part by tweaking the tuning.

there is a particular model of monitor that is capable of switching frequencies between 15khz, 25khz, and 31khz... the yokes are disintegrating on them because when operated out of their manufactured ideal range... while they do "work", they produce copious amounts of heat, making the plastics and resins in them used to build them and hold them together, break down and literally fall apart. the reason for this is that different value yokes are used for lower frequency monitors (single frequency) opposed to those monitors that operate in higher frequency resolutions. trying to "shoehorn" a yoke that was made to display a particular frequency, and be driven using a completely different frequency, is really bad for it. tweaking a little bit is okay, but with the values your suggested replacement has, way too much.

while I don't doubt you COULD get this yoke to work with whatever resolution your original monitor is, whether you SOULD or not depends on how long that yoke is going to last being driven under those conditions. like, if your donor LH was 0.201 or 0.180 id say you could probably be fine swapping it and just adjust some settings and be good, but being 0.113 out is too much to just yolo it. you can also tell your donor tube runs a way different resolution than your existing tube, just by the vertical yoke value. 5.2 vs 13.8 if the donor was 4 to 6...maybe.

again, I'm not saying it's impossible, its just you have to factor in how the yoke itself was originally designed and kind of work with that as well.

while I don't doubt you COULD get this yoke to work with whatever resolution your original monitor is, whether you SOULD or not depends on how long that yoke is going to last being driven under those conditions. like, if your donor LH was 0.201 or 0.180 id say you could probably be fine swapping it and just adjust some settings and be good, but being 0.113 out is too much to just yolo it. you can also tell your donor tube runs a way different resolution than your existing tube, just by the vertical yoke value. 5.2 vs 13.8 if the donor was 4 to 6...maybe.

again, I'm not saying it's impossible, its just you have to factor in how the yoke itself was originally designed and kind of work with that as well.

Hi!

Thank you for the very useful explanation.

Ok That is if I combine the A68ESF002X43 tube and yoke with the Nanao or Sanwa chassis, I will not do that, is better to keep using the A68ESF002X11 with the Toshiba original yoke and fix the magnetic issue. 

In another way I have two Hantarex Polo Star that I know are directly compatible with the A68ESF002X43, that is another optión although I prefer to use the nanao, so this is last option.

Thanks!

Hi to all, i'm new in this forum, i saw this topic and I wanted to ask if in the end  the swap of the tube was a success or not. Thanks

Hi!

Finally I have managed to make the tube swap successfully :applaud: (sorry for the delay), as soon as I have time I will present details and conclusions.

Hi!

The problem is that to make the toshiba tube yoke fit well with the philips tube, the yoke has to slide further in, and the philips tube is depeer than others, so it doesn't allow the yoke to slide further, as you can see in this photo from arcade proyects:


https://www.arcade-projects.com/attachments/ms9comp-jpg.53807/

So there was no way for the image to fit correctly, perhaps someone with more knowledge could be able to adjust it, but it seems that there is no way precisely because of the depth of the tube

I could use the philips tube with its original yoke changing the chassis for a Polo Star one, I tried it and works perfectly but the idea is to use the MS2932 chassis.

So I decided to try with another tube, I have found a tube that has less depth than the philips, taken from an LG TV

And WOW It has worked perfectly with toshiba tube yoke and MS2932 chassis, I haven't even entertained in a tight fit, just a basic fit, even the curvature fits to the millimeter with the bezel of the Naomi:
