Tube Swap Wells Gardner 19K4906 - Sanyo replacement tube
« on: October 04, 2012, 08:52:23 am »
I recently required a cocktail cabinet that has a Wells Gardner 19K4906 monitor in it with bad screen burn in.  I would like to do a tube swap and saw that some Sanyo TV's have compatible tubes.  I recently found a Sanyo 19" DS19390 locally and was hoping someone could confirm that it has the right tube.  According to this post

http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=235352

it has a A48KRD82X tube in it.  I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to swapping.  I have looked at a couple of web pages and it looks like it has a CR23 connection.  I am hoping that someone with more knowledge can confirm this?

Thanks

It's a crapshoot.  It probably has a tube which is compatible with the CR23 adapter...or, perhaps on another run of the same TV they used a tube which has a CR31, instead. 

Is the TV free?  Then just get it.    If they're asking big bucks for it, forget that TV altogether.  Ask on Craigslist for anyone that has a 19" TV.  A lot of people have replaced their tube TVs with flatscreens, and are keeping the old one, either because of the recycling cost, or "just in case".
