    Interest Check : Dragon’s Lair/Space Ace NTSC decoders.

    Hey Tim, still available? I would need one shipped to Italy if that's possible.

    Scanlines, they don't exist on arcade monitors: Prove me wrong.

    The only TVs with an aperture grill are Sony's. That's a frigging slot (not dot!!!) mask.

    Scanlines, they don't exist on arcade monitors: Prove me wrong.

    They are all shadow mask tubes of the slotted type (the second type in your picture in the first post), hence the mask has vertically elongated slots in an offset pattern. Here's a closeup of such a mask: The dot-type shadow mask was used in TV tubes with delta guns which rapidly disappeared...

    Complete CPS2 Collections: How many out there?

    I would be hard pressed to mention 5 CPS2 games that I like so no full collection for me. CPS is much much better (especially the titles that were released before SFII) and without those plastic cases that I hate.

    Will 1990's arcade games ever surpass 1980's games?

    You've been told something really funny and not true. On your first birthday you're 1 everywhere and that's the reason why 10 is the last year of the first ten, not the first of the second ten which in turn means that 1990 is the last year of the eighties and 2000 the last year of the second...

    Will 1990's arcade games ever surpass 1980's games?

    FYI the 80s ended on 31-Dec-1990.

    ebay seller that backs out of deal

    The chassis is now in my possession. It's in good condition but will require extensive work/rebuild. I'll post the results in the monitor section probably early next year. Thanks again Troxel!

    ebay seller that backs out of deal

    Yeah, that one. Also, he openly says "we do ship internationally" so that can't be the issue. It must really be too much trouble for just 5 bucks which is kind of understandable but then that's how auctions work and why there is a reserve price option. No big deal in the end and I'll take you...

    ebay seller that backs out of deal

    That would be really nice if someone was willing to donate or sell me cheap a 7000A chassis. I will be paying for the shipping to Italy. It doesn't have to be working, only I'd prefer one that doesn't have a severely damaged PCB (burned/lifted pads etc.).

    ebay seller that backs out of deal

    Forgive my ignorance and naivety but I don't use ebay that much anymore so I don't know if this is allowed by ebay rules or not. The story is simple and short: I won an item for $5,00 and the seller refunded me with the lame excuse that the item is no longer in his possession/damaged. It's all...

    Facebook groups have divided this community.

    It's like an endless roll of toilet paper.

    Phosphor in 80's crts lighter compared to 90's crts why?

    It's the black matrix, a light-absorbing coating deposited in between phosphors in order to improve contrast.

    Used CRT's in Reno

    No, because the red tent monitor should be called 17" in the US. It's 18" in Japan. Japan 20" = US 19" (Sanyo 20EZ, Wells Gardner K7000 etc.) Japan 19" = US 18" (the VGA monitors of this thread) Japan 18" = US 17" (red tent)

    Gizmodo article on CRTs

    Jeez, had to read the same boring irrelevant bullshit twice today with just a few words changed here and there: http://venturebeat.com/2017/03/03/what-the-death-of-the-crt-display-technology-means-for-classic-arcade-machines/amp/ "The current stock of new 29-inch CRT monitors is dwindling"...
