i disagree, you could probaby use the new neckboard.
especially as these days the gun-drive circuits are entirely on the neckboard and you just feed the rgb & blanking into it.

the only thing i dont like about modern monitors are the narrow necks - they lead to gun-shorts.
i'v never experienced a gun-failure in an old monitor - but these newer tubes can be a nightmare.

i have friends in the tv trade who tell me that the widescreen tubes get gunshorts so often that they dont think *any* will last more than 5 years with heavy use.

i had one fail myself after only 3 years :(
