19" medium res compatibility: WG K7915 - WG K7635. Are they interchangeable?

I broke this off of my paperboy thread, because most of you probably don't look at it anymore.

Question: I have been offered a chassis from an APB. It is a WG 7915 though. My monitor is the K7635. Does any of that really matter? Are they directly compatible with a med res tube/yoke? I assume yes, but it is always better to ask the pros.
 
Hmm. Not sure. It's all in the yoke, though. Send Chad at Arcadecup an email and ask him if the yokes are compatible. I'm sure he's worked on both...
 
Hmm. Here's a bigger problem. According to this:

http://www.vidiot.ca/montube.php

It says that the K7600 is an 8-pin neck, and the K7000 (which should mean the K7900, also) is a 10-pin neck. Now, i know some K7000's are 8-pin also, so that isn't gospel, but you'd need to check your tube against the chassis neckboard before trying a swap.

I also know you can swap the 8-pin and 10-pin neckboards if they are compatible...
 
Oh, well. I didn't think one version of the K7000 would be 8-pin only...
 
I don't think I have seen an 'official' marker on my chassis. The paperboy manual calls for a K7635, mine looks like a K7635 in manual, and it has original paperboy burn. It takes a K7000 cap kit, etc. Who the hell knows with this K7000 stuff - Wells Gardner apparently let retards name their monitors, because it is all over the place! ;)

So...it should probably be a safe bet now that the chassis are inter compatible huh? The guy still has the full monitor, so I can get him to check things out if that helps.
 
Or you could wait until I check out your chassis, unless you want an extra....
 
Hopefully, it's not one of those that I open the box, take a quick glance at it, and say, 'Well, duh! No wonder it didn't work!"

I think that would be hilarious! Those are the hardest problems to diagnose. Even in my field of work, once you look at a drawing for so long, you miss so many little errors...and sometimes big errors. That's why I always get someone to look over my work, and why we use a human stock-lister instead of a computer programmer.

In all fairness, I had a few fellow gameroom guys look at the board Friday night. They didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Both have done some monitor work, but are hardly experts though.
 
It always helps to back off of a project for a few days or get a 2nd pair of eyes on these sort of things.

I cant wait to find out whats wrong with it!
