Title: What would happen?
Post by: TexasWalter on August 30, 2007, 05:29:43 pm

What would happen if I installed a standard resolutionmonitor in place of a medium resolution?

And what would happen if I installed a standard resolution chassi in a med resolution chassi?

You would not get a useable picture

Assuming the tube and yoke were compatable with the chassis in question, this would work.

D is right on the first one, the picture would not be in sync.

The second one, the yoke will not be compatible, a CGA/Standard res yoke is 1.0 mh or higher, a Mid res is around .6.

Even if you are lucky and do not blow the HOT right away, you likely will later.

Good Luck

Thanks yall 
What I have is a Blitz 99 with a bad mid res monitor chassis and a extra WG standard res in great condition but I guess I can not use the Standard in place of the mid so I am back to repair or replace the mid res.
Glad I asked before I tried and damaged the other monitor.

Thanks again
Walter

a) fix your med res monitor

b) Blitz is standard/medium switchable.
