I'm so happy, it feels like cristmas morning!. Well I woke up around, jumped
in the car, headed to the local flea market. well within 5 minutes I spoted
what I came for, with tape measure in hand, I measured the picture tube on
the 80's color TV (19" viewable diagonal), Price tag said $10, label on back
said 1985, I didn't even haggle, gave the nice couple their 10 bucks and I
was on my way home. 1 hour later I have a brand new (kinda) picture tube in
my Popeye. man i'm stoked. I did what that one guy recommended, I kept my
same yoke, and used the purity/convergence rings from the TV. just a little
tweaking of the YOKE position and the purity rings position and it looks
perfect. well, has some red on one side and needs to be degaused. So i tried
the hair dryer method and it improved a little, but not perfect. time to buy
a de-gausing coil.

Thanks go out to all those who documented this procedure, and thanks to Mike
Haaland for giving me the desire to try it. I did ground the anodes on both
before starting my work and heard the pop on the tv's anode. Oh, the TV had
a manufacture date of 1985 so i figured I was in good shape. was a no-name
brand tv and tube.

WOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a tube also that I can use, but the problem is the corner brackets that
are strapped to the monitor itself is off about a 1/2" center to center overall
measurements. The holes on those brackets don't line up with the bolts on the
20 ezv frame. Also the neck stem itself is about an 1 1/2" longer than the
sanyo which means that the metal cover that protects the neck board would not
fit. Electrically ok pin for pin, but not mechanically friendly in my case. And
yes, it is a 19" tube. 2 things to look out for when doing a tube swap.

Document the manufacturer/model of the TV, as well as the model number
of the tube.

Good job on the swap.

I would save the tube if it won't fit the Sanyo. You may find it works fine in a G07 or
something. The first tube I tried from an old TV fit my G07 fine... but there is more
leeway there probably.

Some numbers from the tube...

On a side note, how do you guys get rid of the TV parts when your done? , I
removed all metal from the TV case halves and put the plastic in my recycle
bin. Then I smashed up the circuit boards (couldnt see anything i wanted on
them) and put them in the trash. But I still have this tube with burn in,
but what if I didn't want to keep this 19" tube, how do you dispose of them
properly? I was thinking of covering it in a blanket and hitting it with
ball peen hammer. to cause the implosion, so my trash guy wouldn't have to
experience it.

I throw the casing in the trash, save the circuit board if there's any good
parts on it, then bust the neck off the old tube and put it in the trash.
Hopefully some day recycling facilities for these will be more common.

I find the easiest way is just put the old tube in the TV. After all
it is a tube *swap*, no? :) Then dispose of it as you would a broken
TV. They still pic them up here on trash day, so out to the curb they
go.
