I have interchanged these more times than I can remember, there is no difference period, any size crt. Naturally if U have defective caps, diodes in circuit neither will work correctly.

It seems this is a definite topic we need to get verified one way or another. So far we have 3 answers, one stating that is totally incompatible, one that states it can be used on 19" or under, and one that states yes it can be used because it can handle heavier amperage. First question is, can it cause any damage to any chassis if the LA7837 is installed instead of a LA7838? If not, then I am willing to try it the next time I have a vertical deflection fault with one of these LA76838 chips.
