matching a chassis with a monitor

[donwerr]

you'll be able to tell i'm fairly new at this by the question that i ask.  how do you determine what kind of chassis to use for a monitor?  i have a 25" monitor with an old A-one chassis model am-0316...would it be better to have the old chassis rebuilt or get a new one of a different manufacturer?  i'm not sure what chassis can be used on which monitors

Probably your monitor only needs a capkit. You can get the correct kit for your monitor from good old Bob Roberts. Cost is around $8.


If you decide to buy a replacement chassis then you should visit www.8liner.com/datatech/monitor.html to learn how to test your monitor for compatibility & to determine the correct replacement chassis to order.

Replacement chassis typically cost $65 to $95 depending on model & tube size.

A replacement monitor will cost you over $350 plus shipping for a 25".

Hey Ken, is it possible to switch  a chassis between different size monitors of the same model #?  For instance if a person had a chassis off of a 19" 7000 series wells, could he put it on a 25" 7000 series?

Remember the 19" k7000 was made in two versions: one for 8 pin (22mm diameter) picture tubes and one for 10 pin (29.5 mm diameter) necks.

The 25" version uses a 10 pin neckboard and the main board is "P538".

If you had a 10 pin 19" chassis you could temporarily stick it on a 25" tube k7000 for testing purposes only. Remember that the 19" chassis was designed to generate an image properly sized for a 19" tube.

Thanks again, Ken.
