Title: Advice on CRT TV tube swap
Post by: BaldiGit on October 12, 2018, 05:00:03 pm

HI, can anyone help..??

Just diagnosed a CRT short (screen to focus) on a Toei CM-R14 21" monitor. 

Does anyone have any idea what TV tube I could use? It's a 12 pin tube and the deflection coils are 59 ohms and 2 ohms.

Thanks for reading

Replace the whole thing with an old TV set since it’s going in an SI

That was going to be option 2 as was after authenticity. But good news is I've managed to clear the short with a zap from a charged capacitor  ;D
