I just successfully did my first tube swap for my new track and field. I posted an add on Craigslist looking for a 19" tube TV and a guy down the street had one he gave me for free. It was a Panasonic with a Samsung tube. It went a lot smoother than I expected and I now have a like new picture...SWEET!!

I found a lot of helpful resources regarding standard res tube swaps - Now that I'm inspired, I was wondering about swapping out the tube on my APB. Since it's a med res game, is the process just the same as a standard res, or is it not possible to do a swap?

The process is the same. As long as the tube has the same neck, it can be swapped. You just need to swap on the med-res yoke. Even if the new yoke measures the same, it won't be wound the same way, and won't work with the med-res chassis...
 
Thank you! - still amazed it worked out that well. Wondered why the screen was off until I saw the T&F board wasn't connected right (leave it to me to miss the obvious!). Wish I learned about tube swapping earlier!
