I came across this CRT (A48ABE10X) in an old TV that I picked up last fall. As soon as I cracked open the case, I noticed that this one was not typical. It is a 90 degree tube. Google search reveals CR-24 socket. It tested out amazingly well and has near zero burn, no scratches, and lots of emission life left.
Is it a candidate for a 6100? I've read a few posts stating that people have had success using a 90 degree tube with a CR-24 socket and that the biggest caveat was that the neck stuck out further. I would guess that the narrower deflection angle would have to affect the image, but I have no experience with that.
What's the deal with the zip tie holding that little ring assembly where the convergence rings normally sit? It seems glued in place. It's not a truly bonded design either because the deflection coil has a clamp like normal.
Anyway, If you think that this is something to keep aside for the vector lovers, I will. If it's just another tube with a less common socket, I may try and whip up an adapter to try out a K4900 or K4600. It has a nice long neck on it so the "new" yoke/rings should have plenty of room.
If it turns out to be junk, I will keep the neckboard for one of you that needs it to make a test adapter.
Thanks and good day...
