I did a tube swap on a dead Asteroids G05-802 tube. Long story short, it worked and looks generally awesome (needs minor adjustment).
The thing that didn't quite work however was the flyback attachment to the tube. It's super loose and I don't trust it staying put unless I tape it down.
Considering I am unable to find a new flyback for the monitor, I wanted to know if I could put some rubber washers under it to ensure there is a tight connection. The only thing that concerned me was the potential of heat, but I'm not really sure that there is that much heat which I would have to be concerned.
I fitted it with the rubber washers as a test, but didn't power it on. It certainly works in keeping the fit extremely snug.
What are your thoughts?
