hi there. i just did a tube swap with my k7100 chassis that was completely recapped and has a new flyback. the old tube had a focus problem so i found another machine with a good tube and switched them out. they happened to be the exact same tube, same maker and model number so i didnt swap out the yoke. however after firing everything up, the new tube is stretched way too far and a lot of the game image cant be seen. everything else appears to be fine.
what would cause this? im completely baffled as to how a monitor with the same model tube could have two completely different results with the horizontal width. if i took the chassis off the new tube and put it back on the old one, the picture is fine albeit fuzzy because the tube is shot. the second i put it on the new one, it stretches out too far and adjusting the horizontal width coil only seems to have had a minimal impact. i could be wrong, but i dont think i should have needed to adjust that in the first place considering the other tube was just fine.
what could this be? ive never seen a problem like this before and have no idea where to start. would the b+ be different between the two cabs?
