Title: Trying to Tube swap a G07 from a ms. pacman
Post by: aPr0mpt on April 07, 2010, 09:33:30 am

Hey everyone,

I want to try a tube swap for my bad tube on my G07. I've never done one before so I was wondering if this TV on the pic would be ok. Its 19" but only about 10 years old. Does anyone know?

Thanks,

Al

All tubes look pretty much the same from the front.  You'll need the tube number. That's inside on the back of the tube. 

Hate to say it, but if it's ~10 years old, it is probably the smaller neck version, compatible with a B&K CR-31 adapter.  You want one that's compatible with a CR-23.

Don't toss it though...there are plenty of monitors that can use that kind of tube.

But the most important thing is finding that tube number.  If you don't want to crack it open, maybe you can look in thru the air vents.
