Star Wars - Should I do It?

I also thought it would have been crimped though.
What I don't get though is why you are swapping a 19" and 25" tube? Are they really compatible outright with the same chassis? I thought you had to do some fancy readjusting to pull that off?
Forgive me if this is explained somewhere else in the thread.

What I've been told is that the AMP chassis can be used for either a 19" or 25" tube compatible with it....without modification. I can only imagine someone here or at KLOV would have spoken up otherwise (since I did ask about it as well).
FrizzleFried:
100 degree tubes is what I was told.
ChadTower:
Yeah, and most TVs that aren't 40 years old will be either 90 or 110 IIRC. And I never did find someone who could tell me a way to determine that without opening up the TV or having the service manual so hunting around recycling centers wasn't viable.

Indeed. You can swap them around at will. It will require some height/width adjustment probably.

I borrowed a rejuvenator to work on my 25" amp tube. It seems all 3 guns showed they were shorted to heater, but looking at the screen it seemed likely GREEN was the culprit. I rejuved all 3 guns anyway. After the first round THE GREEN TRACELINES DISAPPEARED! Woohoo! The tube tested fine but all colors save for green were very very light plus I had a strange smudging effect going on with the green gun at the bottom 20% of the screen. What the hell, I ran it through a 2nd run with the rejuvenator (still at the lowest settings). This time things look MUCH MUCH better...
I still have some adjusting to do...but take a look at the result thus far. (the blurry image is due to a too-long exposure time with the camera, not the tube)
