Tube Swap Question ??

Dude, you made my day. I'm needing a new tube for my 25" Neo Geo with the K7000 chassis.

The best part is that I work at a recycling company that collects and recycles old TVs. Now I all I need to do is find an old Magnavox that works and set it aside before it gets recycled.

It may be the Phillips part of it that is why they are both compatible. Both tubes have Phillips lables on the back, and both had hori. and vert. ohms that were spot on for k7000 chassis.

Maybe you can find and sell replacement tubes for people here.
 
sorry I'm new at this .

Was I supposed to check the horizontal too ? weird thing is I keep getting different readings on the vertical . Its was 18 , checked again now its 10 .

horizontal 3.6 ohms
Vertical 10 ohms

Make sure your fingers aren't touching the multimeter leads when ohms testing.

That tube isn't a drop in replacement for the WG 4900 chassis, according to the yoke specs at the bottom of this http://www.junknet.net/donor-tvs page. It would however be a drop in for a 19" WG k7000 series chassis.
 
Actually, that is a 20" tube, the A51 gives it away. It is possible with a ton of tweeking you could make it fit in a 19" frame, but you'd be better served to find another tube.

BTW, that is a CR31 compatible tube. The skinny neck K7000 uses this adaptor. Another possible problem with the 20" tube is the yoke mating area. On some 20" tubes the angle of the glass is different from the 19" tubes and this prevents the yoke from seating properly.
 
I'm having a difficult time removing the yoke from the tube . Is there a method for doing this ?
