RE: Amplifone and WG6100 PCB sets exchangable ?

WG made a 13" and 19" XY and Amplifone made a 19" and 25"...same boards for
both. The Tube determines resolution not the boards. You just have to
deflect the beam a little more on the 25" tube.
The CRT won't be made by Amplifone although it may have an amplifone part
number on it.

Mmmm, I've seen other info that the 25" CRT's and yokes of the WG and
Amplifone are "the same" (Except for the WG being low-res of course).
The thing is, the more I think about it, the more I doubt that the CRT WAS
an Amplifone. I don't remember seeing the Atari labal on it, nor an
XY ser.No.

I will have a look at the cab again next wednesday and make pictures.....

Another thought: As far as I know the HV and deflection boards are identical
for the 19" and the 25". So how can this work if they have a
different CRT angle ?
