Hey, I’m about to acquire a Toshiba PF D29C051 (tri-sync) monitor from a Sega New Net City cabinet that has some burn-in. I’m thinking about doing a tube swap.

The tube inside is a Toshiba A68LTF356X.

I’ve looked on craigslist and found someone offering a Toshiba 27AF62 (a “pure flat” model so I’m assuming the shape is identical). I googled the service manual and determined the tube inside should be a Toshiba A68LUW696X01.

Now, before you say it, I _know_ the yoke of a 15khz consumer display will not work in a 31khz chassis for my tri-sync. But my question is whether the tube itself would be compatible if I swapped the yoke out.

If the pin-out on the neck board is the same am I ok in assuming it should work? Do I need to get out a multimeter and check the voltage levels on the pins for the heater or something?

Are there any fundamental differences in the _tube_ of a 31khz screen vs a 15khz one or all of the differences found in the chassis and deflection yoke?

Actually, if it's a 100hz set, the original yoke could compatible. Get a LCR meter and measure the yoke.

Yoke and tube specs for monitors

That's right.

Mostly it's just the yoke and chassis. However, some tubes are paired to their yokes, so a yoke swap won't work. Tubes manufactured by Philips can be like this.

I don't think 100hz sets are very common here in the states, but worth checking out I suppose.

What's the tolerance range on these things? Do I aim for something within 10% of the Lh and Rh values of the current yoke, or will anything with a lower resistance work?

Would testing it out risk blowing up the chassis, or would it merely not work.

I want to be extremely careful with the chassis because I understand how difficult they can be to fix and replace.
 
Just making conclusions based on yoke specs I think for Lh you want to be in around 10% for a stable pic. Lv can be off more.

I haven't played around with out of spec yokes that much, however, my thinking it's actually worse the other way around, so a lower resistance yoke connected to a chassis that's expecting higher resistance. I connected a Sanwa PM1745 yoke (0.405mh) to a 27e31s chassis (0.300mh) by accident (the yokes and tubes look identical), and the picture just looked like garbage. No damage was done by it.

ninjaz0mbie,
Did the toshiba tv tube work on your NNC? I found a similar TV at my local area toshiba 27AF44.
 
I would also like to know if there's an update to this. I picked up the same Toshiba tube and am looking for a suitable chassis
 
i might try wg digital chassi
With this tube soon
 
Nem: That's the crts with the bonded yokes isn't it? I've had quite a few that seem to have the yoke permanently "glued" to the crt.
 
Honestly, I've still never encountered a TV with a bonded yoke. I know they're out there, but so far they've eluded me.
