I picked up an elusive SA1961PT Zenith today with a 100 degree tube and a CR23 socket.


According to the other threads, this should be a straightforward tube swap. A few questions:

1. Could I remove the neck housing and put in a CR24 neck housing? (But I'm too chicken to mess with the tube)
2. I could make a CR23 neckbeard from dezbaz.
3. Could I move the CR23 neck socket from the Zenith TV to a spare WG6100 neck board I have?
4. Will the yoke that is on this TV work or do I need a vector yoke? (Anyone making these now?)
5. Why is this TV so disgusting dirty and from a smoker. UGH. LOL.

Thanks all.
