Star Wars - fully working!
RayB:
Just don't play the game while standing in front of the monitor. The electrons will fly out of the spot and hit you, sucking you into the game.

And it's a standard CRT, nothing special about it.

That a 100 degree tube, right? Aren't the rasters almost all 90 degrees? It's the Amp that uses 90 degree tubes, I think, not the WG.

So he gets a bit of pincushion, less noticeable than the burn-in dot.
I think it's more depending on age of the CRT. The more modern the CRT is, the more chance that it's a higher degree angle because tubes got shorter and shorter in time.

I'd rather have the dot. It's better than spending 10 hours converging a color vector. That yoke swap is a nightmare.
Level42:
Well, my uncle taught me the ancient art of converging and .....it's not as bad as many people say.
Bad I agree, it's not for everyone...
The key is to work systematic and follow the steps like it's written in the Amplifone manual which is about the best explanation I've read.
Yes, I've done it a couple of times over but now I have the "feel".
However, I will have to do an Amplifone 19" CRT swap too and maybe I'll think different about it then....but I'm pretty sure I can do it....
ChadTower:
Hell if you have a good amp chassis try it with a 27" just for giggles... ;D
