No. You will need to swap the monitor end cap (aka nipple) on the tube (fairly easy). Also, you may see some bowing of the display (although maybe not). As far as I know, the yoke will work fine with the Amplifone boards. I have not tried this before, however.

>2) Connect the Amplifone Yoke to a WG6100 Tube and use my Amplifone Boards (HV,Deflection, yoke connector) and plug it right in to have it work?

No. You will need to attach the Amplifone yoke to a 90 degree tube. The WG6100 tube is 100 degrees.

>If I should be getting a Medium Res tube, then can you recommend a manufacturer/model of tube to get? I know very little about tubes and what's out there, so any help is appreciated.

Sounds like you better talk to John Robertson pretty quick so you can grab one of those cheap ones in Canada. I'm guessing they have all been claimed though. Too bad I don't have any quick cash right now :(

The Amplifone schematics I have show the original tube to be an RCA 19VJTP22. This is the standard res tube they used - don't get one of these. The medium res tube is the Rauland M48AAW00X. This is the one Noel has been talking about recently (actually, as I look back, I see he's mentioned them a lot :).
