I have a G05 ready to go in my future LL cab. However, there is some clear burn-in on the tube from Asteroids so I would LOVE to replace the tube.
If I lived in the US I would have ordered a brand new tube within a heart-beat, but the shipping costs to Europe + the import duties & tax is killing the fun....
SO, I was thinking of finding an old TV with 19" CRT to use....BUT although I see plenty of b/w TV's offered around here, they are either the really small portable size (12 or 14") OR they are bigger (23" and up).
Has anybody ever put a larger tube in an Asteroids/LL cab and do you like it ? Since the bezel in a LL is black anyway I'd say that has less impact then on an Asteroids with the articulated bezel....
Any issues to get it to fit ? Can the chassis handle the extra current ?
Alternatively, if anyone is able to transport a NOS tube from the US to Europe "for free"....I'm all ears
