Re: 6100 yoke question

Hi,
I'm familiar with the convergence proceedure so I do use the wedges and have some convergence strips as well, I realize that it won't be perfect but I'm barely getting close. I can't even get the center red/blue aligned 100%, Right now I'd settle for good convergence at top bottom and sides.

  Can't help with the identification, but without wedges it's not likely you'll get the tube converged. There should be rubber wedges between the yoke and the back of the tube. Often you have to tilt the yoke either side to side or up and down or a combination of both before begining to use the convergence rings.

    Thanks for the info, yoke works just fine. Doesn't make much difference with the convergence though. I borrowed the yoke from Chad at the Arcade cup and we were discussing the convergence problem earlier today when he asked was it an Amp tube, I told him I'm not 100% sure but 2 KLOV'r said they were about 99% sure it was. Quick background, the tube that came with game was at some point replaced or repaired, there aren't any labels except a warranty sticker from Academy Color Tube for 1 year. There is the raised glass lettering 25V100 and very faint white markings in upper left rear of tube that reads AWX00. Chad raised the thought that maybe I don't have an actual amp tube and if the yoke isn't proper for the tube I have convergence will never be attained properly. So I thought I'd ask the experts here to take a look at some pix of the tube perhaps we can figure out if it is or isn't an Amp. You can find the pix here.

    Any help would be appreciated.

      If the picture isn't upside-down or mirrored the yoke is wired right. The wire colors don't really matter, it's just how the batch was made.

        I checked the ohms on the plug, pins 1&2, 3&5 they read the same on both yokes, if I check the colors I get the exact opposite, red/blue .6, yel&brn 1.3 ohms on orig yoke, red/blu 1.3 and yel/brn .6 ohms on borrowed yoke. So based on this I should be ok?
        Thanks,
