New Star Castle CRT Needed...Any sources??

There is one somewhere out there in cyberspace hiding in a dusty box.

I have searched my feelings and know it to be true.
 
Anyone know of any place that still has any new b/w vector crts for Star Castle?

I bought mine a couple of years ago from a guy who had a NOS monitor and installed it in the game. I have been thinking of selling the machine. If interested let me know. The cabinet is in great shape but needs new side art.

If it is just the tube you need, you can replace that dim Amperex tube with a G05-802 from Asteroids etc. Its a straight swap.

I only need the tube, I tried the g-05 swap and that is also

to dim to play and the brightness control seems to have no effect.

I have bought 5 of these off the guy.. have one in Star Castle, one in Armor Attack, battlezone, asteroids deluxe and a spare. They work great. The phosphorus seems to have a little more persistence than the old ones... but it might be just that they are new.

If you find the part number of these, you can find more, and an equivalent model sold in other locations online.. I can't remember the crt numbers though.
 
I had a dim tube in my SC when I got it. I swapped the tube with a normal X/Y B/W tube and it looks great now.

If you swapped the tube and still have a dim look I think you might not have a tube problem.

My 2 cents.
