Is there a page somewhere that lists all the different arcade monitor chassis with their neck size and yoke impedance? So I can find a compatible chassis for the tube I have.

If not, what's a good way of finding a compatible chassis when all you have is the tube? I have the tube's specs FWIW.

Thanks.
 
That would be a cool project... I think I will start a list of all the chassis and tubes and chassis I have...

I will post the list to my website....

If people want to start sending me info on monitors they are working on or just have their game accessible and want to send me info, I will start this project.

PM me or send me info to: mikebetz42(at)hotmail.com

First you find out the neck size of your tube to see what type of neck socket it uses:

Most monitors used in arcades in the early 80's, as well as the bigger monitors used later, had a CR-23 neck. Some monitors used a CR-31. B & W and 13" monitors had lots of different ones.

Now, as for the yoke, if you have a chassis, you can usually find the proper yoke numer or reading through searching, as most people have posted them during troubleshooting. Here is an incomplete list:

Nice info so far. It's a 13" tube, Philips A34JLL40X which is a CR-31.

The yoke as I read it is
Vertical : 14
Horizontal: 4.8

That's all I've got to go on so far.

Closest match I've seen so far looks like a WG K7300, but from what I've read so far, there isn't a lot of leeway when it comes to the ohm measurements.
 
Took the neck board off and it's an 8 pin neck, so I guess that's the slim style.

I see vertical impedance listed more prominently than the horizontal in the searches I've done, is the horizontal impedance not very important in a swap?

I suppose I could just buy a universal chassis from somewhere like 8liner and be done with it, but I would love to know which chassis would be compatible just for my own curiosity.
