If you want to replace a monitor with burn, now is a good time to do it.  The LCDs don't look right, but you know that and for $250 Wells Gardner has a new drop in replacement.  Kinda hard to argue with the simplicity and you could always put another CRT back in later if you decided to.

I replaced the CRT with an LCD in my MAME cab last month.  Bugged me for 5 minutes, now I think it's fine.

I don't know what monitor is in there, and I haven't opened it up to inspect the actual damage yet. I have only done cap kits on monitors, nothing more intense than that.

I'd kinda like to find a better tube anyway, mine has some burn in and you notice it during the water sections.

My monitor on my Spy Hunter smoked out a couple of weeks ago. I've not seen what the LCDs look like in the classics, is it pretty bad? I do need to get that game up and going again, it's my son's favorite game in my lineup. I just don't know if I need to chase down a nice old school monitor or just finally allow one of those dirty LCDs into my home.

Yeah, I had an upright and sold it, now I think I am going to put together a lineup of the Atari 19" monitor mini's.

Still looking for one that is within a few hundred miles.  Then a cabaret Tempest.  Then a cabaret Dig Dug.  Wouldn't that be the coolest lineup ever?

Anyway, if any one spots a 'pede shoot me an email or txt  801-647-5130.


Does the Centipede need to be cabaret?  I'll keep my eyes open.
