Not plug and play...The monitor is specific to Sega Color Vector games. It is NOT plug and play compatible with any game using an Amplifone or a WG 6100.
The first version G08-001 uses chassis transistors that are nearly impossible to source. They were also prone to bursting into flames.
The second version G08-003 (there is no 002) had some fixes incorporated that solved the fire hazard problem but people never trusted the monitors again. The 003 version uses fairly rare chassis transistors.
The rebuild kits from Bob include common transistors for the monitor that should NEVER be used. The chassis transistors on the monitor should be re-used if they are not bad.
Those monitors are worth a bit of money (about $300-350) if fully working. The picture tube is the same as used in a WG 6100 (the yoke is not) so even a hopeless chassis with a decent tube is worth a fair amount.
The HV transformer has not been reproduced and likely never will.
Hope this is the kind of info you were looking for.
How would one determine if the monitor is a G08-001 or G08-003?
Thanks.
