Sorry, been a tad AWOL lately.

I decided to get the similar donor TV in the end from eBay. I'm collecting it tomorrow morning. I'll keep you posted as to how I get on. The part numbers ARE different btw, I just hope they are the same, fit and do the job. Wish me luck!

End pages should have the part numbers. Look for red crt.

Dunno where to find the part numbers. These a huge list that looks like a load of numbers and letters! LOL

Same part number for both red tubes?

The thing I found really strange is this TV I've found as a Donor, although has been ID'd as a different Model it does look from the exterior, exactly the same.

My TV (42PW33P)-

Tv on Offer (42WH46P) -

Could there be that many difference's? I've looked in both Service Manuals and from the Diagrams (unless they are generic) the CRT's are the same.

Don't hurt to try.

Kinda thinkin' perhaps buy a very similar model thats also faulty (found one) on ebay and replace with a CRT from that one? The fault on this other one is the main board is fried.

Thinking I've got 1 in 3 chance (as has 3 CRT's all the same) of it working out that way. Not only that, they only want 30GBP for it ($60).

Might be worth a shot considering the price of a new CRT is probably out of my range at the moment.

Been ringing round like crazy today being left on hold, whilst they attempt to find the part (gottatoshiba.com) and I'm still none the wiser if I can get one of these things. They said they dont have them in stock and dont know if they are going to get anymore! Sad

I was told to expect it to be IRO about £180 or $360. Ouch! Do you know of anywhere better than may have a lamp for a Toshiba 42PW33P (I know, UK Model! LOL) or a generic lamp that will do the job?
