Tube Compatibility

[SirPeale]

Picked up a TV, was going to do a tube swap.

Checked out the adapters used on the B & K rejuvinator (just in case) and I'm glad I did.  The K4900 tube RCA 19VLTP22 is used on a bunch of WG monitors (including some XY models, I found) and a CR23 adaptor is used.

The RCA A48AAB11X tube in the TV I found uses a CR24 adapter.

Clearly there is an incompatibly here.

Where can I find a pinout of the CR23 and CR24?  For that matter, where can I find pinouts for tubes in general?  I've got a tube at work that doesn't take a CR23 (or any other adapter we have) but we do have a neck socket, and I could make an adapter if I had the pinout.

And where is B & K's newest datasheet for tubes?  It says in their manual they release a new one yearly.  It doesn't appear to be available for download or purchase.

Has the pinouts for the connectors in the back of the manual.

For the tube I found, red and green are swapped.  So in theory this tube would work, I'd just have to swap the inputs.  Of course, I'd have to make an adapter to make this work with another game (if it ever got swapped).

Or I'll just keep looking for another tube.

you could always make a couple of track cuts on the neckboard and then use jumper wires to swap the red / green on the neckboard itself, that way all your inputs would work without an adaptor and all your controls would function as labeled.

It'd be easier to make an input adapter that just switches the two colors around.
