Has anyone tried using a 19 inch Wells yoke on a 19 inch Amplifone setup? I have a spare Wells yoke but no Amplifone yoke for my Major Havoc project.
 
Mark,
it will work in that it will function, but you will never get the convergence or purity to work right.. in short, it will look like crapola. I tried an NOS amp crt in a 6100 chassis w/6100 yoke since I had spares around and its a waste of time. Because of the angle, you cannot get the yoke far enough forward to make the purity 'pure', and for the same reason convergence.
Put out a wanted for a yoke on RGVAC, here, and vectorlist. They are floating around. I accumulated 4 or 5 over about 6 months just asking around.
 
I have used a 6100 yoke and rings on a 90 degree tube out of an old tv.Tube #19vkgp22,the mounting tabs are "backwards" so I had to use spacers to get it to fit.The plastic neckboard socket is the same as the one on the 19vlup22.I also had to use foam as a spacer for the yoke.Convergence is near perfect,definately as good or better than any other 6100 out there.As I have said before,maybe I lucked out,I don't know,but if you don't try,it won't happen.
