I know that the CRT in a Mac+ is a pretty standard
9" mono
CRT, and that there's nothing odd about the pin configuration or operating
voltages. I suspect the SE's CRT is similar, but
I've never had the
chance to pull one of those machines to bits.
I'll do it then, and compare the numbers and boards etc, and check
apple-history to make sure the resolutions were the same, which I think they
were.
Incidentally, if you had 2 dead SEs and broke one of
the CRTs, what
happened to the other CRT? It's not common for them to fail
electrically, although I guess it can happen. If the vacuum is still in
the
CRT and the heater shows continuity (pins 3 and 4 on
the B7G base) then
it's likely you'll get some kind of picture.
The good old british postal service 'happened' to the other CRT. They
dropped it when it was being transported and snapped the wee glass guide off
the back, as well as doing some internal scraping damage with the HD carrier
since it wasn't fastened in properly; I had a spare case, drive and CRT so a
transplant should've been really simple! Duh.
cheers!
