Does a Tube Swap Reference Exist?

Post by Arcade-Projects »

I've noticed that while a lot of the common Candy cabs have Nanao monitors, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of spare parts, cap lists, or other technical information available.

Perhaps more troubling is that there doesn't seem to be any good references for tube swaps.

Does such a reference exist? if not, we should start one.

A good guide for the 13-25" WG line run by some KLOV folks can be found here: junknet.net/donor-tvs

it'd be nice if we compiled a list of all known 27" arcade monitor chassis, with the following information:
-neck connector type
-yoke impedance readings
-mounting ear dimensions

Then from that identify a list of 27" consumer TVs with the same info.

it might not hurt to also include the flyback model number and links to cap lists/maps where they exist just for the sake of completeness.

Even just the list of arcade chassis with the info above would give us a good reference as to which chassis could serve as replacements for which tubes. I know I'm terrified of my MS8-29 dying since there are no flyback replacements available anymore.

I know in my personal collection I've got access to a few different 27" models.
