CR20 WG 19K6100 Tube Replacements

I saw you post in this thread after I was just going through it for the first time last week. I was hoping it was because you still had stock of these for the 6100. :)
 
Just a word of warning...I picked up a Zenith SS1909W hoping/expecting a 100 degree tube and sadly it came with a 90 degree tube. So bummed. So overpaid. Spare vector chassis is so sad.

I have my tube physically mounted into a WG6100 frame. The original tube used a 1/4"-20 bolt and panel nut which was too large for the holes in the Zenith tube tabs. I was originally thinking I would drill out the tabs but was worried about doing that on the tube. I was able to order a new panel nut from McMaster Carr that appears to be the same manufacturer as the original WG6100 one and has the same fit to the frame but has a 10-24 nut size. It bolted in with no modifications! The spacing was exactly the same. Pretty happy with that, hope it helps someone else out.

Any idea what thickness you bought for the panel nuts? McMaster has multiple options:

 
Back
Top Bottom
