--- Quote from: Level42 on January 27, 2009, 05:46:46 am --- So, if you guys replace just the CRT, how about convergence ? Do you replace the CRT plus yoke etc. ? In that case it needs to have the same impedance etc. right ? --- End quote --- Yeah. The first one I did was a G07. I took the G07 yoke and put it on the TV tube, but I didn't attatch the G07 purity rings as the TV tube did not have any. If I can find the tutorial where I got it from I'll post a link. I don't have any convergence issues as far as I can see. Heres the tutorial I used: http://www.arcadetreasure.com/monitorinfo/Monitortubeswap.htm |

Hey! That PC board looks familiar. ;) BE SURE you check for dull/dark looking pins on that Pac harness. If you see ANY dull or dark pins on the power pins - REPLACE THEM. If you don't you'll burn the edge connector on the board. Better yet, replace the edge connector on the harness up front. That'll give you another 20+ years of good, trouble free operation. Also, if you decide to rebuild the monitor, desolder the width coil and leave it on the chassis. Those things WILL crumble if you remove them from the holder. |

Nice packaging by the way ;D --- Quote ---BE SURE you check for dull/dark looking pins on that Pac harness. If you see ANY dull or dark pins on the power pins - REPLACE THEM.

I'll check that out before plugging anything in. --- Quote ---Also, if you decide to rebuild the monitor, desolder the width coil and leave it on the chassis.
