I Have a bunch of Computer Monitors laying around the house and was
wondering if you can take the crt tubes out of the monitors and use
them with my spare Go7, wells garner 4600 chassis and make a working
arcade monitor?

In most cases you can swap the same sized tube into a different chassis.
Take the yoke coil with the tube to avoid haveing to set convergence, which
is next to impossible.(For me at least)

I should have read closer. PC Monitors usually have totally different yoke
resistances, sometime different neck pin configurations.
So I would say no It wont work.

No. Computer (VGA) monitors use totally different tubes and yokes.

You can only sub in consumer televisions and older color composite-era
monitors such as those for Commodore 64's/Amiga's and Atari 800's/STs
