Re: Question about 25" picture tube

My original tube was Rauland model A63AAX00X (the "00" is actually
zero, zero, not alpha if you are searching the web). A drop in rebuilt
replacement is available for $154 from Clark Electronics. $40 cheaper
if you have a suitable tube to exchange. (with no phosphur burn - just
dead guns) Their model number is A63ABZ26X. See:

http://www.jps.net/clarkeel/cross.htm

If you are willing to do a little experimentation, I suspect you could
find a dead 25" TV from the 80's with a good tube for $20 or so and
gamble that it has the same pinout. (make sure before you plug it in!)
I've been doing this with 19" TV's and have had great success repairing
raster monitors so far. It turns out most color 19" color TV's from
that era had the same CRT pinout as the G07 and WG4600/4900 monitors!
:-)

Good luck and please let me know how Clark turned out, as I have been
wanting to buy a tube from them for some time, just haven't needed it
yet...
