I need a replacement monitor for my restored cabinet.

I have done a cap kit and some other fixes but my monitor problem persist. I traced it down to a broken neck board. :( Apparently, the neck board was already broken and the seller or whoever repaired it by using silicon.

I would like to replace it with a new complete set of monitor, I have checked around, a brand new taiwanese 29" replacement comes to abt US$300.

I was thinking if it is possible that I get just the chassis at US$50 and use an TV CRT for the tube. I can get new TV CRT for abt US$80 brand new, brand available are Samsung, Sony, Philip, etc.

If it is possible, how do I go abt matching a suitable CRT for the chassis I have gotten?

Thank in advance!

You should be able to cross reference between existing crt and possible replacement. If the deflection angle (same yoke compatibility) and electrode pin outs are the same- they would be interchangable.

You should be able to properly repair the CRT base board (however badly damaged)
If your unable to find someone locally to do it send it to me. PM if interested.
