Moto color conversion kit 23 to 25

[drh4683]

I have the manual for one of these kits. I looked it over once and noticed alot of hacking had to go into effect to make the conversion. If Im not mistaken, the contour of the 23EGP22 face is different than that of a 25GP22, also the metal sheild that goes behind the CRT has a cutout for the anode lead on the side, not the top as typical on all other CRTs. Per that manual, you had to change all these parts (included in the kit such as brackets, new HV lead) but motorola mentions that the technician will need to cut the metal sheild with tin snips so the HV anode can be accessable. Also, motorola suggested using a soldering iron as a "hot knife" to cut the new arc into the plastic CRT bezel so that the CRT would fit properly under the bezel. Templates are givin to make this happen. Still, it would bother me to know so much modifications had to be done to accept this new CRT. The soldering iron hot knife concept didn't impress me to say the least.
