I have a Zenith 19" color TV that we want to convert to an Ms. Pac man arcade monoter.
How would I go about doing this and is there anything in particular that I need to know or watch out for. Any web-sites or document on how to do this would be helpful.
 
Well, you will need an arcade chassis (the set of circuit boards) that is compatible with your tube, this includes all circuit boards and the yoke. You will also need a compatible frame. Then you install the parts and conduct the convergence procedure in the manual for the chassis you have. Many manuals are listed here:

The Wells Gardner K7000 has a good convergence write-up.

How to convert a 13, 19, 20, 21, 25 and 27 inch broken home TV to an arcade monitor or replace a chassis from any low resolution (CGA, used in Cherry master, Mortal Kombat, Ms. Pacman, and most arcades games)

Thats a pretty handy link Mike. I dont mean to threadjack, but does anybody know where the points to measure the yoke ohms are? Is it just at the connectors?
