12 pin monitor question ??

[redfivexw]

Hi everyone,
i pulled a 19" television apart to convert into an arcade monitor (i have done this several times before), however this tube has 12 pins, instead of the usual 10 pins i usually get.  Also, there is no keyway like usual.  It has 11 pins, and then 1 pin set apart a little from the others (like the usual keyway on the 10 pin necks).  I have never seen this setup before, does anyone know if i can use this tube, or should i junk it.  The tube was made in 1983, the brand is Orion.

PS - the monitor is High Impedence on my meter it read 41

You should look up the tube number in the B&K rejuvenator setup guide and see if it uses CR23 adapter. If it does---great! Chances are that you may have accidently pulled off the picture tubes plastic socket (it's probably still silicone glued to the tube socket of the neckboard).

no, i checked the neckboard and there was no adapter on it, the monitor end looks exactly the same as every other monitor i have ever seen, it just has 12 pins instead of 10.

I have seen both 10 and 12 pin Orion tubes.....some 19" and some 20",  don't know what good the 12 pinners would be though.
Unless you can cross it to a Matsushita monitor for like a Millipede, but I'm not sure if the pinout would be the same. I think they're a 12 pin setup.
