Hopefully you used a credit card... "Chargeback" is the word of the day.

Yup....credit card... I have nothing to sweat over...

8liners.com (Atlas Amusement, Victor Genoa) have been around for many years. Many operators all over the country buy stuff from them.

I can't see them suddenly going out of business.

His phones certainly went out of business.

Good luck...
Or are you supposed to say break a leg (or in this case neck...)

Waiting patiently for the results...

 

[FrizzleFried]

Alright.... here is how I got the monitor I ordered from Atlas from UPS...

Not so bad...thus far. I wish it was a double walled box but whatever...

Here is what I found when I opened it op...

NICE! Double boxed... the inside box looks a little beat up, but it's apparent the monitor doesn't take up all the space inside it...

Things are looking decent enough...so I open the inside box and this is what I find...

More packing...good good...

I have pics ......

And here's the yugo and polish terrorist:

 

[FrizzleFried]

So I remove the inside box packing and I find this...

Something doesn't look right. The chassis is sitting about 90 degrees from the way it should... upon closer inspection it seems that...

...yup...the freakin' chassis came loose from the frame! GOD DAMNIT... WTF? So I remove the monitor and find this...

Those would be broken plasic pieces from the mounding board under the chassis... this monitor has been bounced around enough to break the friggin' chassis from the frame...

This is a piece of the plastic mounting board under the chassis. From the LOOKS of it, all is OK...there is no apparent damage to the chassis, but one will never know until one actually plugs the thing in...which is what I will be doing in the next hour or so. Unfortunately I am not sure how I am going to mount the chassis now...I'll likely have to drill my own holes or something but I ain't gunna do that until I verify the damn thing works.

SO...I'd give Atlas a 6.5/10 for packing...i've seen worse...i've seen better...and UPS a 1/10 for bounding this monitor around bigtime....hey...at least the tube appears intact.

LETS HOPE!

 

[FrizzleFried]

Also... the tube sure looks BRAND NEW to me. If it were refurbished, what would the tell-tale signs be? The neck glass is crystal clear...the neck pins are brand new looking...the chrome pins inside the neck all look stunning..

 

[JC Arcade]

the chrome pins inside the neck all look stunning..

Easy now, we're only talking about pins here. I reserve words like stunning for things like...oh...gorgeous women.

Carry on.

 

[FrizzleFried]

Also, for power (it needs no ISO) there is a BLUE, a BROWN, and a green with yellow stripe.

Green/Yellow should be earth ground, right?

So then is Brown or Blue hot? Neutral?

I just found this:

European colors

• The live conductor must be brown
• The neutral is blue
• The earth ('safety ground') must be green/yellow

I think that answers my question...

 

[teckkev]

I'm sure they will replace the chassis mounting plate if you can reach them.

If it works, it's not that big of a deal. A few zip ties and we're good as gold...

 

[FrizzleFried]

Oh, and I AM a little disappointed there is no remote controls board... it's all on the chassis... Freakin oldschool...

 

[HighScoreSaves]

I'm curious about the monitor... Let's see it working!

 

[patchboston]

I have a long day tomorrow, but I'll also stay up to see what happens..ha.

 

[FrizzleFried]

Sheesh...with that kind of pressure I guess I better get my ass out the game room and test this bad boy...

 

[patchboston]

If they don't hook you up with a chassis mounting plate, pm me..I have an extra one from them, it's yours.

 

[FrizzleFried]

Welp, good news...

Needs a slight adjustment, but overall it looks good...

Not too bad for $160.00 shipped out the door. But man do I miss the Vision Pro deals....

...and I'll take you up on that Patch if Atlas' number remains disconnected next week.

Thanks!
