Hello all,
I need some advice.
I am restoring Pac-Man Mini arcade game with an Electrohome G07-FB0 13"
CRT Monitor. This is for my own use.
I would like to replace the CRT with one from an older 13" VGA monitor, I
don't have a 13" CGA monitor or TV set available to scavenge a CRT. Has
anyone tried this before?
I have scavenged CRT's from older 19" TV's and replaced them in 19"
G07-CBO's. I have not been lucky enough to find TV's with compatible
yokes so the old tubes yoke had to be transplanted. Although I wasn't
absolutely thrilled with the convergence, the replacement scavenged CRT's
worked well.
Thanks for the advice!

The problem you'll run into is that most (all?) VGA tubes have two focus
pins while the TV tubes have one. You'll have to transfer over the yoke in
any case, but the focus arrangement will likely be your main obstacle,
worth a shot though if you have a junk monitor laying around.
I too have tranplanted a number of old TV tubes into 19" arcade monitors
with good results, it took some fiddling but I was able to get the
convergence nearly spot on eventually.
