You can usually find one at any thrift store, hospice, habitat for humanity or even an electronic recycling center. There should be several in your area. I typically pay no more than $5 for a tv. 90% of the 19 inch tv's will work. Worst case you may need a,10 pin neck board (your current tube is 8 pin) which should be easy to aquire here on klov. Save the yoke off of you broken tube, you may need the connector from it. I'm sure we could walk you through the swap in a repair thread. Hopefully you at least have a multi meter to check the yoke.Hey @SillyB - Others have been saying the same thing, but for me a tube swap is uncharted territory. However, that's probably a good thing in this hobby! I'm currently either A) hoping to stumble across a tube donor and see if I can hack my way through it or B) find another good 19" to buy and set aside the current one for a swap when I can find another tube.
this feels like a good next step given I have some games with monitors that need love
He accidently necked his tubeAre you sure you even need a tube swap? You probably just need a cap kit and maybe a rejuvenation. I swapped the tube in mine to get rid of the Sega logo burned in.
If you're not ready to do monitor repair you can pull the chassis and send it out to one of the 10 guys on here that rebuild k7000s, but you're exactly right - in this hobby all roads lead to the CRT. If you want your vintage games to run you'll have to learn to do some light work, at least cap kits and they are really easy on the 7000.
Yep, sure did.
