I've got a U5000 with a weak tube. Can I use a standard TV tube with it, since it's dual res? I know on things like the 7500 you can't, as the dot pitch is finer.
 
i would think it would work fine as long as you swap the yoke.

have you rejuved the tube yet i would try that first.

The whole setup came to me from another tech, who advised that the tube was junk. He'd already shot it several times.

He wasn't kidding, it's really dark.
 
The dot pitch of most standard TV's is actually quite a bit tighter than arcade monitors. Now, I don't know where a TV's pitch is going to fall in regards to standard/medium/high resolution.....but anything's better than a dark tube. Plus, the average person can't tell the difference:).
