19” K8000 Medium Res…Or Not?

That yoke does not line up with any Medium Resolution K7000 yoke that I know of.

I suspect that someone tossed the OEM tube when trying to make this setup work and the correct Med Res yoke went with the tube. Common and depressing scenario.
 
Im going to ask a silly question. I saw some cats talking in another thread about how you can take a consumer yoke and redo the winding and turn it into a vector yoke.

If that's possible , is it not possible to also do this to make a med rez 19" yoke?
 
I suppose that it is possible. Lots of ifs in there though and one would likely need to start with an inductance measurement of the donor yoke as only the vertical (?) winding is rewound... I always seem to get those backwards.

You'd then need to understand exactly how the Med Res yoke is wound and duplicate that. I'd imagine you'd need to pull apart a known good yoke to do that.
 
I don't understand why everyone is caught up on the yoke. the deflection board is what creates that frequency. if the yoke were mismatched it wouldn't look as good as it does. I fixed one of these in a World Rally a long time ago, and that was standard resolution.
 
If you've got a set of instructions that will allow a Std Resolution yoke to create a usable image using a Medium resolution chassis then please create a thread and walk us through the steps.

I've wanted to play around with this for quite a while but I've just never been able to find the time.

I know ive seen a standard 19" k8000 in a Toshinden Battle arena 2 (cant remember if it was the original cab, maybe a dynamo, my guess a kit since it was made by capcom and probably also the shittiest fighting game Capcom made) when I first started working for my dads jukebox company 20 years ago. I remember taking it out in the day when we sent everything to the idiots at PNL and didnt know better but wondered why it had two main parts to chassis. You tend to remember things that are a pain in the ass to work on and wonder who was the idiot that came up with this 🤣
