Hi all,

I have a House Of The Dead Deluxe. It's fully working except the green crt tube has pretty bad "insert coin" burn in on it and makes it terrible to play as it's very visible 100% of the time. I'm looking for a full set up to replace what's in there currently to get rid of that screen burn. The green tube is the worst, but the others aren't far behind. Currently it uses a Mitsubishi VS-50SE1J rear projection tv set up. The crt tubes have 11 pins on the neck. I've tried finding 11 pin crt tubes with no luck. It seems almost all tubes from rear projection tvs are 9 pin. Even picked up a couple rear projection tvs for free from people just to open them up and see if they had the correct tubes inside. No luck thus far.

Some sticker numbers on the yokes are 330P16407 on 2 of the tubes, 330P16408 on one of the tubes, that same sticker has the same number of 9740HS on all 3 of the tubes. Other than the VS- model number on the back panel there is also a number of 6671655. I have not removed a crt to see if there is another sticker under the yoke directly on the crt glass yet but nothing is visible with the crt still installed in the machine.

I've poked around on eBay and the net for the proper tubes and have no luck their either. Some sets out there but most will not reply or bother to check if they even have something with the 11 pins on the neck.

If anyone has a set up, or a green tube please let me know! Or, if you have another project game around with a rear projection tv set up in that is a parts machine and your within about 6 hours or less of Chicago, I'll grab the whole thing from you for parts.

There may have been a couple different projection tv models used in these, so also willing to make another model and all it's boards/tubes work as well, even if from a different game, as long as there is little to no screen burn. I know, tough!

Thanks!
