Hi,

I picked up a burn-free 25" tube from a WG 25K7191, in case I was going to need it when I finally tracked down a 720. The tube model is G-A63ADG25X. From what little info I can find about it, I'm afraid it is a standard-res tube... so I'm guessing this is not going to be of any use to me.

Would someone familiar with the inside of 720 be able to confirm this for me before I get rid of the tube?

Thanks!
 
you wont be able to use the standard rez monitor you just picked up as a whole.. however you could port your yoke and monitor board over from the original 5515 that is stock in 720's over to your burn free tube.
 
here is a pic of the tube out of a race drivin sitdown. Its medium rez. I am not 100% sure its 5515, but I think it is.

Ok, thanks for all the replies. So I guess the answer I was looking for, is that 720 uses a 5515, not any sort of k7000. I'll probably get rid of this tube I have because I don't think I'll ever have a use for it.

Please don't trash the tube. They're becoming harder to come by.
 
Don't worry, I would never do that. I said get rid of, not destroy. I just meant something along the lines of sell/trade/give-away... trying to decide which one.
