Hi. Just some quick questions out of curiosity.
My Astro City has a A68KJU96X Toshiba. Is this the original tube that comes with the MS8-29 chassi?
Has the New Astro City the same kind of tube, but with the MS9 chassis instead ?
I think the Egret 2 also has a A68KJU96X, according to some sources I've found via Google.
The term nanao monitor always means the chassis itself, or is there also something like a nanao tube ?
Yes, Toshiba A68KJU96X is the original tube for the Astro/NEw Astro, both tubes are the same, MS8 and MS9's use that same tube with only a slightly difference in the yoke, theres no such thing as a "Nanao" tube afaik.

Can you swapp one for another? I want to bring a MS8 home to play with it, but I only have a MS9 tube here, can I use it to test the chassis?

MS8-29 chassis on a MS9 tube? yes, it works.
Thanks!

Does it suppose any danger for the chasis or tube? I want to recap the ms8 and will need a tube to test if I did it right.
