Hi Tony and all
That's pretty much what I meant, yes. A vector display would imply an
oscilloscope type CRT while a raster display would imply deflection coils
and the like. And yes, there are exceptions I'm sure :-)
Why do you suspect that the CRT has failed? Have yoy
actually tested it
(e.g is the heater open-circuit?)
K, here's the story. The machine is about a thousand km from here. It was
sent to the Motorola agents (1600 km from here :) where the technician
diagnosed a faulty CRT. He also swapped his test CRT in, proving that the
problem is with the CRT, but he's not prepared to part with the CRT he has.
I don't even know if it's vector or raster, I'd suspect vector?
There is no such thing as a 'vactor CRT'. Any CRT can be used in either
mod. Although it's common for raster displayes to use
magnetically-deflected CRTs and vector displays to use
electrostatically-deflected CRTs Is it more like TV CRT ot a 'socpe one?
That's what I meant :)
OK, so I have
CRT is marked with the following numbers :
P/N95-P09122T001
P/N96/80396A98
AEG396512
D/14/390GH it could also be D/14/390GHB
(None of these pop up on google).
The size of the CRT is as follows;
L: 360mm
W: 100mm
H: 125mm
A length of 360 yells "oscilloscope" to me... no?
I'm trying to get a picture of this animal, but since they can't fix it,
maybe I should suggest they ship it to my side of the world, then I can
count the pins on the base etc.
I'm thinking that if it's a 'scope tube almost anything will work?
Thanks
