What do you think of this brand new chassis?

I've found this and I'm wondering if it's any good... And do you know what CGA/EGA stands for?

colour graphics adapter 15khz(standard older/jamma video signal) low res
enhanced graphics adapter 24khz(sega plus other early/mid 90's) medium res

that chassis you linked to can do both but I can't see if it's auto or manual switching-looks pretty good though

looks like a pentranic chassis.

 it's a manual switch (have to move a cable to a different header block.)

Right, I don't mind though. I would only use 15khz anyways.

Is there often an incompatibility between yoke and tube? (other than the pins layout of course)

hit and hope mate,sometimes you are lucky and get good geometry-other times you get what you have,although horizontal compression is most common
