Hi
I have a MK2 Arcade game that had a bad tube. The chassis was a Pentranic 25 in cga (low res) Monitor. I found the numbers on the tube. which will read A63LIC36x. The first three letter is what you are looking for on a TV tube. A63 is cm for 25 inch. I found a sanyo Tv with tube number A63EGA32x. I found it in a Goodwill. i just took a flash light and looked in the vents in the TV backs. (very hard) All 25in and larger tube are all ten pins Neck board. So if you are looking for that size of tube the neckboards of the tube will be the same(In most cases). Next is measuring the yoke resistance. There are High impedance yokes(40-60 ohm) and low impedance yokes (8-12 ohms). Measure the yoke on your original tube and make sure they are close (within 1-2 ohm) of your donor. If not then you will have to mark the donor tubes yoke and rings and pull the yokeand rings from your original tube and put them on the donor tube. Mine was close so I didn't have to move the yoke and rings. I did have to ajust picture size. I hook it up and the only problem was that the yoke wires on the donor tube didn't match the wire colors to the chassis. I had to cut and match the wires up so I had the video correct. The wires on both tube was the same they just didn't work the same. If you want more info. I posted this on KLOV forum. Do a search for tube swap. There was other giving input on this and website for more info. GOD bless you in this journey

my monitor tube has 8 pins on the outside and looks like 1 pin in the notch that lines up the neck board

OK So what we need to do here is to find the numbers on the Tube. The Numbers will start with and "A". I is a big white label most the time on the right side if you are looking at the tube from behind. Sound to me like its a 19 in or smaller tube.
Here is a site that has more info. of what you are trying to do. http://www.coinopspace.com/group/directory#monitor (http://www.coinopspace.com/group/directory#monitor)

O I see well I think WG chassis only go with there tubes. But I could be wrong about that. I don't have enough experience with WG other then trying to find a chassis for a tube I had. I was told that I had to find a WG chassis to fit that tube. :dunno Someone on here or on KLOV has to know. GOD bless
