I have a decent 13" TV I pulled out of the dumpster. It is an RCA, looks to be late 80's-mid 90's vintage. I'd like to make an arcade monitor out of it. Are there any good chassis candidates for random 13 inch tubes?

Sure. There is a 13" G07, a 13" K7000, and quite a few others. I would personally advise you against any chassis labeled as Ducksan.
What tube is in the TV? What does the yoke measure?
Easy now, let's not get technical just yet. I have it in my truck, will decase it Friday. I will post the info up then. I really don't want to swap the tube in my 4800, as it is in pretty decent shape. I do have a ducksand here, but it is a 13 inch VGA monitor with a pretty decent tube.
Yeah, that is the problem I have found with most 13" tubes. The originals never seem to have much, if any, burn. I have three or four spare 13" tubes sitting on a shelf that I will most likely never use because I have no need to swap them out with anything.
That, and there seem to be a lot more 13" monitors sitting around than there are games that take them. I've seen lots and lots of poker machines with 13" monitors in them.
