They have plain tubes that supposedly are made for the GO7 chassis with compatible yoke...I have a bunch of totally rebuilt chassis to throw in...I might order one tube and at least see if the tube by itself is worth the trouble..they are only 75.00 with yoke installed.....might be worth it on tube since I know I have good working chassis with newer parts.....
Anyone ever just order the tubes themselves and substitute your own chassis in..?

I have no experience with this company........but I think that's a very good price for a new tube and yoke. (though, maybe too good

Yeah I hear you on that one...when I do buys like this I just accept that fact that its a chance..sometimes you get lucky...sometimes you get screwed...we'll see on this one..but at least its only a few bucks as opposed to buying a bunch of monitors and getting screwed..
thanks for replies guys..that is why you should always ask first...

Did anyone bite the bullet and buy one of the tubes?

I'm not a monitor wiz either. I have some monitors with bad burn ins. Could I just swap the tube with these?
Bumping this...so has anyone successfully bought from arcademonitor.com? I called them twice a couple of weeks ago, emailed them last week, and just emailed them again today with no response. Has anyone actually been in contact with them?
Ive called multiple times and sent emails and never heard anything back either.

Ok..since this got bumped I'll update what i have...I ordered one of their new 19" Monitors to see the quality...the quality is ok...I wouldn't put it in Wells class when they were making good monitors but it works and will do the job....only issue is the metal frame is kind of flimsy...but it works. I did order a tube that is supposed to work with GO7 chassis..but I have a lot of my stuff in storage so I haven't been able to test....one thing I can say is the main plug for the yoke will have to be modified as it isn't' same as the original style used..haven't' been able to find source for these so you can either rob one from older yoke or just use older yoke..I chose to have them give me new yoke to see if the entire set up works or not..when I have time to test I will let everyone know as this could be good source for new tubes at the very least...but as far as new monitors they do work.
I will say that their shipping material was kind of suspect...I had the chassis to the monitor I ordered damaged in shipping but they immediately sent me another so I can't complain...especially with limited suppliers these days...
I would say if your going to order get one and see what you think and if your ok then you can order more if needed..but they seem to be find about returning items from my experience....I can't comment on lack of communication as I've had no issues there...
