How interchangeableare CRT tubes and monitor chassis!!!!
« on: September 08, 2008, 09:43:12 am »
As most of you know I have been trying to fix a monitor in one of my cabs. I'm convinced that the tube needs a little work as the green colors are still of and dull no matter how much I adjust. If I decide to buy a new tube can I use the existing chassis I have or do I need to get a new chassis as well. Thanks

rejuvinating the tube may extend the service life.
many crt's have the same pin outs.  but,  diff cut off voltages - ( which isn't that big of a deal ).
match the tube size ,  pin out and keep the game's orig yoke to reduce problems .
trash day can be a good day to find replacement crt's,  and at a fair price   ;)
