TUBE REPLACEMENT

If you are unfortunate enough to come across a G08 with a bad tube, there is still something you
can do about it.
You can replace the tube. As mentioned before, the tube is the same as the one used in the Wells-
Gardner 6100 series color XY monitors. You can also buy a brand new color vector tube
(19VLUP22) from Richardson Electronics (1-800-222-2787) for around $165. It will not come
with the tinted gel, nor a deflection yoke or convergence rings, so you will have to transfer those
from the broken tube and reconverge the monitor colors.
From Mark Jenison:
"I tried doing a tube swap with a 19VJTP22 tube from a Wells-Gardner 4600. I did not have any
luck. I could not adjust out the green band down the middle of the picture. Apparently this is due to
the fact that the deflection coil could not be positioned far enough down the neck tube (because the
degree of the neck tubes are different). The deflection coil is not angled to work well with a 90-
degree tube."
