I've had this monitor since around 2002, haven't really done anything with it until now.
Back in 2002 it was inside my Galaxian cabinet. Tube had Motos burn on top of Galaxian burn. I'm pretty sure it was the original monitor in the cabinet. For the last 10 years or so, its sat in my garage, which had a roof leak that I was unable to do anything about until recently. During that time, it managed to get necked somehow.

I found an old Sears Canada tv at the dump, turned out to be Sanyo made with a Canadian made Sanyo tube. Tube number A48JAF51X. Yolk measured around 4 ohms / 11 ohms. Close enough to try without swapping the old one on.

Unfortunately the only issue I was the tube mounts were backwards from the old tube, so I made some spacers from PVC pipe.

Chassis was incredibly dirty from its adventures in the leaky garage, so it got a bath in the sink and then dried for multiple days. Still had the vertical collapse, so I spent an hour reflowing every joint on the pcbs.

I now had a picture! Kinda small...

Swapped with a known good X-Y board and I had a full picture again! ivanx had a working X-Y board available for sale so I purchased it.

Did a complete recap to the entire thing, with an excellent cap kit from security0001

A slight pincushion issue, but not that big of an issue once it gets into the Galaxian

Running my Galaga board on it, it looks great. Too bad pictures of crts always look terrible.
