I don't know what you mean by 'a tiger'.

The donor is a Panasonic with a 29mm neck. I only have the smaller yoke that came with the k7000, but the yoke original to the Panasonic tube is playing nice with k7000.

Yes, the cabinet is original but the CRT is came with was necked. I did find a recycling center that has been good to me, but they haven't had many CRTs come in this year. Marketplace has even fewer. They said that last year they have at least one a day come in. Now it's only once in a while...

It turns out that my neck of the woods here is a CRT desert, but I finally found a tube that's compatible with the 19 inch k7000. Unfortunately it's a 20 inch so I don't know if it will fit the frame that the 80s Williams cabinets used. Any advice on how to mount a CRT that won't fit into the...

If you suspect the flyback the just remove it for a test, or use Mike's lightbulb test procedure to isolate the problem to high voltage or regulated voltage.

How much does powder coating cost in your neck of the woods? It's prohibitively expensive here in Kelowna.

Yha, it's in my recycling pile now.

I confident the problem is internal to the tube. I posted to see if anyone had ever come across something similar.

Yoke checks out as in it is reading as expected inductance ranges for a 19 inch tube. 3.3mH on the horizontal coil and 26mH on the vertical coil. I am issuing an isolation transformer. I did check the power supply section of the board and everything is measuring as expected. No damage done...

I refuse to convert to LCD. Tube swapping will continue until morale improves.

The yoke checks out and the tube does not exist in Tubular, only the shortened version of the model number without the 19.

So I managed to find a 19 Inch commercial tv with a promising yoke reading to swap into the 19k7000 I've been trying to match up to a CRT. It's an Orion tube from a Sansui branded TV. I hooked it all up and it lit up the fuse for a moment and then burned it open. It's the strangest thing. I...

Yep, horrible luck. I hear that the 25k7000 are really easy to find a donor for. They are very forgiving. The 19k7000 is not so forgiving.

Red and Blue are the standard color combination for horizontal. Yellow and green are the standard color combination for vertical. The horizontal pins should be the ones closer to the neck and the vertical pins are the ones closer to the front of the tube. Reversing red and blue, or yellow and...
