Re: WTB 25 ' Amplifone monitor for star wars cockpit

every monitor manual explains convergence and purity.

Also, if you can, before removing the convergence rings, mark then and
reinstall in the exact same spot. If you do this one step, the only thing
you have
to do is do static convegence and purity.


You can read guides about this all day, its expermintation and practice that
will
really do the trick

Yes as far as convergence a 100 degree tube is what you want. I would
experiment with whatever 25 inch tube you can find though. Worst case

you won't be able to get it converged well enough to use.

Also yes a 19 inch monitor will look fine (since it can set closer to
the
glass), but I highly recommend you take the time to try and
put a 25 in it. It does look much better (I have a 25 in mine) and
unless
you are in a hurry to get the game up and running, there is no reason
to
settle for a 19.
After all, if you are going to use a 19, you might as well save space
and
have an upright instead of a cockpit!

Hello
The tube has to be 100 degree tube to work your best off putting a
standard 6100 in their I have one in mine and it look fine

The only one I know of that got a WG6100 chassis and a
"normal"(WG4900) tube working together with no problems (in a Tempest)
was Clay Cowgill.

Has anyone else actually done this?

Thanks.

Yes, quite a few times.

I helped Jason Milsom put together a 25" monitor years ago out of a tube
he salvaged from a 25" TV set, and a WG 6100 yoke and chassis. We didn't
have any extra Amplifone boards at the time and he had a 6100 with a
broken tube so that's what he used. It worked well, looked good,
convergence was not perfect in the corners but TV tubes tend to be lower
grade than those made specifically for monitors.

We also came across a WG 6100 that had a 90 degree Amplifone 19" tube
stuck in it, fit sorta ok, looked funny but it worked fine, had the
Amplifone 19" yoke of course.

I've lit up a multitude of old TV tubes using a spare Amplifone yoke and
chassis, some of them would converge nicely, others, particularly newer
sizes like 20", and odd tubes with flatter screens and whatnot wouldn't,
but even early 90s nearly flat face CRTs work surprisingly well aside
from mounting.

This is not rocket science, CRTs are almost all very similar
electrically, and there are only a few standard deflection angles out
there. So long as the neck pinout is compatible with the chassis, and
the yoke will fit on the neck, the tube will work, and usually it's not
too hard to get the convergence dialed in.

Ok, I'm about to replace some burned-in tubes in raster monitors, but
in particular I have a tubeless WG6100 and was wondering if there were
yet any sites with step-by-step instructions and pics on how to do
this.(I have a television shop a block away from me and can get some
19" tubes for $5 a piece).

Thanks.
