Have a WG4900 in my Joust. I also have a Med res WG4915. Tried the standard res board with the med res tube from the 4915 and all seemed to work well in the Joust. I did not try the 4915 chassis. Was wondering how interchangable med res is with standard res games? Could I use the whole monitor (tube & chassis) in the Joust, or does it have to be in a med res game? Is it OK to use the tube from the med res 4915 with a standard 4900 chassis?

Medium res

From what I know (heh, not much).. You can use any tube with a medium res chassis and yoke, as long as the pins match.. You can't use a medium res chassis or yoke in a standard res game.
 
using the same tube for either chassis will be ok..
the same yoke no.. you would have to port the yoke to the tube you want to use..

--standard rez chassis and yoke are married.
--medium rez chassis and yoke are married.

you can get away with the tube however the properties between the medium and standard rez are going to be dif.. likely dot pitch, pixel spacing, available pixels .. shadow mask difference.
