WTB: 19" Amplifone / WG 6100 tubes, completes, parts

Looking for an original tube and yoke, OR preferably a cheaper one that would work with dezbaz's hardware and a different/rewound yoke.

Edit: also would buy complete monitors, yokes, frames, would like to hear what you can bear to part with.

Well I missed one a few days ago. So bump.

Interested in hearing offers on complete setup or tube. I have 2 projects I need these for, and would like to upgrade my SW.

Would also be interested in 6100s, think I could use one in Quantum at least.
 
Bump.

A 6100 would be fine for Quantum. I'd probably settle for a 6100 for Havoc, too, at least for now.

I believe with dezbaz's setup you can now use CR23 or CR31 90 degree tubes. I just can't find enough info on how to rig one up.
 
Bump. I managed to acquire 1 6100 tube on eBay (bad Tempest burn tho, yuk), I got some magnet wire to try doing yoke rewinds for Amp repro boardset, but still open to hear if you got parts.
 
You planning on using the 6100 tube to make an Amplifone monitor ?

Or am I misreading what you are saying.

Isn't the Amplifone a 90 degree tube ?

Wells 6100 uses a 100 degree tube.

Other than the Amplifone using a Mxxxx tube number (higher number of phosphor dots/pitch I believe), the tube would be the same dimensions/angle as most older raster monitors (G07, 4600, 4900, etc).
 
The tube and yoke must match: an Amp yoke for a 90 degree tube or a WG yoke for a 100 degree tube. But the you can use either set of electronics to drive that assembly.
 
I'm trying to build both Amps and/or 6100s using repro boardsets. I'd be OK with 2 6100s (1 for MH, 1 for Quantum), but really want to build 3 Amps (other 2 + upgrade my SW). That eBay tube is for building a crappy-looking but useable 6100 as a last resort.

Currently (not counting 2 6100s installed in games) I got:

1x 6100 tube (Tempest burn)
1x 6100 frame
1x 6100 yoke/rings
2x 6100 repro boardsets (CR23 neck boards)
1x Amp repro boardsets

So at the very least I have to find another 6100 tube/frame/yoke/rings. Ideally I'd like to find 3 original Amp tubes. But I should soon be trying my luck at re-winding yokes and am hopeful that I can make Amps using other 90-degree tubes.
 
You outbid me on that 6100 tube and frame I think! Good luck. Wish I could help.

Yeah I lucked out on that. Thought I missed it cause the timer ran out and then the page refreshed with 15s left somehow. It wasn't a bargain, but it wasn't unreasonably priced either.
 
Damn. I underestimated my hoarder ways. Flipping through some boxes and found a full set of Amp boards and an A48W00X tube lol. I'm not sure where my G08 is then, but I'm pretty sure it will turn up.

So I'd probably be set with one more Amp tube, or compatible medium res tube that I can rewind the yoke on.
