Ok, I have a g07 with way too much green. I diagnose it to be a bad tube.
So, I have an old rca tv that looks to be a good doner
step one, I strip the tube out of the tv cabinet
step two, I check to see of the neckboard plug is the same, it is.
step three, I go to remove the yoke and notice, hey there is no clamp,
looks like its bonded on.
step four, look on the net and research, yep its a bonded yoke.
step five I carfully start stripping the yoke off a piece at the time. I
wear a full face shield that I keep around for my day job. I start to get
nervous that I will explode this tube all over my face to save buying a
monitor.
step six. I am able to fully remove the yoke, I slide the go7 yoke on and
prepare to mount the tube to the chassis
step seven. As I go to bolt the tube up, none of the chassis holes line up.
What the @#$@#%, this is a 20" tube, not a 19". I have just wasted 2 hours
of my life for this (*&^(*&!!!!!
Luckily a local fellow collector gave me a kortec monitor that just happens
to be compatible with the g07 chassis. I wanted to use the g07 chassis,
since it has a ntsc card (its out of a dragons lair). Not only was the neck
plug the same, the yoke had the same resistance readings. I was able to cut
the plug and just plug it into the proper pins for the yoke on the G07
chassis.
I seem to remember some old saying: measure twice, cut once or something
like that.
