Is that basement almost done yet?
Thanks for doing this. What does the "*" indicate?
Does anyone have a doc or info around what the letters in the tube name mean? I get that 48=48cm, but what does the rest of it mean. Also the change from CR23 to CR31, was that an evolution in tube design, or was there another difference?

I put this together to easily reference tubes when at a thrift store or recycling place. The "23" tubes should work on WG4600, WG4900, and G07 chassis PCBs. If you are lucky enough to find a "24" it might work in a WG6100.
Not a bad start, but this is by no means ALL of the "23" tubes that can be used. you didn't include any of the 19's like 19VKMP22 or some others that might not start with 19 or A48 but are still 19" 23's (or 24's)...
Newb here,
SO you can scout thrift shops for 19" Tvs and if the number (I assume on the back of the Tv) matches one of these you can just swap the tube with a burned in one or something?
Is there a thread I can go to find out more information. This sounds awesome.

A48 is 19" tube and will fit in an arcade monitor frame. A51's will not as they are 20"
CR23\24 is a 10 pin tube, CR31 is an 8 pin small neck and will work with most WG7000's.
might luck up like I did this past weekend and find a CR23 tube that has a near exact match for the 4600 yoke resistances. I should be able to swap the tube right into a game with no convergence work. Wish I could find a dozen more of those for $5/ea
Nice effort
Thank you![]()
