Urgent 8-liners Purchasing Question

[RetroJames]

Ok, so if I am going to buy an 8-liners chassis, I need to do it now.  The $$ flow is about to stop due to the incomming baby so...

Can I make an educated guess as to which chassis I need (low/high resistance) considering I will be mating it to a 19" tv tube of some sort?  What is the fastest and best way to make this decision?

Thanks in advance - 1HookedSpaceCadet

It might be easier to find th tube you're going to use first, then measure it and order the correct one.

Just a thought,

I have three but cannot mess with them for a little bit and was hoping to make a purchase quicker than I can test.  If I have to do that I will but I am getting nervous over here.  I opened a new checking account, linked it to paypal, and am working out of that account for the hobby with any profits I can muster from ebay.  That way all of my other income goes straight to the house, wife, baby, etc.  Problem is I was dumb enough to mention all of this to the wife thinking I was being real smart and she started asking how much was there, how much am i making on ebay, and of course, "shouldn't all that money go into the house etc?"   *shudder*

I think my assests are about to be frozen!

LOL!!!!

The same exact thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago. I set up my own bank account for paypal and arcade stuff. My wife got super pissed when I told her about it, and wanted to know how much money was in there, what I was doing with it, etc...

I've got like 100$ in there and my wife thinks I've got a million!

ps. - Thanks again for all the stuff, Are those sticks working out for you?

HAHAHAHA....I swear this message board is like looking into a mirror sometimes.  My max in the account so far was $200, my wife too thinks there is a king's ransom in there somewhere, yeesh.  I haven't had a free moment to even look at them yet.  They are destined for the Off Road cabinet project so that is down the road.  Right now I am pulling out all stops to get my Midway Multi-Williams Omega Mame project finished before the baby arrives.  To get a glimpse of my life lately, check out my post in "Everything" yesterday entitled, "My Rant $$$$$" it is good for a laugh....fo someone other than me....sigh.  Thanks again!  1HSC

You need to actually measure the resistance of the particular yoke on the tube you're going to get the chassis for. Then you also need to know whether it needs an 8 or 10 pin neckboard. Do you know what monitor the particular tube/yoke came from? I have some general specs for the tubes/yokes on WG 4900, WG7000, and Electrohome G07 monitors.

Right now I have three 19" tv sets to try.  I posted the specs for one in another thread, haven't cracked the others yet.  Soon though.

In general, *MOST* 19" TV sets I've cracked open have 90 degree deflection, 10 pin neckboards and LOW IMPEDENCE (8-15 ohm) vertical windings.

That said, I did have 3 oddities out of about 12 sets so far.  2 had 8 pin neckboards, one with high impedence the other with low, and the other had 10 pin neckboard but with a totally different socket (slide edge traces around plastic instead of pins) and also 100 degree deflection (good for Vector tube replacement ) and low impedence.

Most of my monitors are low impedence: Nintendo Sanyo EZ20's, WG K46xx, and Hantarex MTC900's. The only one with high impedence was an Electrohome G07.

That is good info, thank you!

All the Nintendo Sanyo's I've seen are 50 ohm (high impedance) on the vertical yoke windings.
