I found the manual - it's an MGG 15" EQ/2 HR

I was hoping to use it with a tube I recently got from an old Bush tv with a Chungwha tube.
I don't see the regular 4 pin yoke connector on the chassis, so I'm thinking this thing needs a fancy tube?

Of course they do! I was looking for a 4 pin thing like the TV I took the tube from. I’ll have to work out the yoke wires to the Hanty green plug. The 2 middle wires on hanterax are joined?

IIRC its compatible with the tube and yoke of the NOS 17" that popped up recently. I've got the same chassises (chassii?) and tubes and was messing around a while back

I have wired the 'new' tube to a salvaged hantarex coil plug which will go into the MGG15 chassis. Is this correct before I try it out and potentially kill both tube and chassis?

The green plug was taken from a dead Polo 2 tube.

yes looks ok
red and green at hanty 6 pin should read about 2 ohms
blue and brown around 7-10 ohms

you can also check by looking solder side as horizontal winding will go the HOT collector and to lin coil

Doesn't seem to work. All I'm getting is a very small (about 5mm) orange/red line in the centre of the screen. Can't see any neck glow either?

probably need to match the heater resistor for a start
need to see solder side of chassis
how do you know the chassis was working before you installed it?

That's the thing. I was given the chassis YEARS ago. I was told it was from a monitor that got necked. It is brand new as far as I know, but who really knows?

I was just hoping I could make another monitor out of a spare chassis and a free old tv, but as per usual, my luck sucks...

I'll see if I have a hanty chassis laying around I could try with the tube.
