I was told it was from a Red Tent, but the tube looked bigger than 18 inches to me (Ask me how I know). Measured it diagonally and sure enough, the tube was a full 19. Checked for burn, I think I see DKjr vines. There is also a label on the tube that says 1982 which would corroborate that guess. What was throwing me was this weird horizontal mounting frame. The labels on this monitor are mostly in Japanese, but I believe this is from a DKjr Cocktail. Model number is 16-Z2AB. I assume the standard EZ cap kit will work?

looks to be the same as both of my 20EZ's.

you happen to have the inverter board (top of HV cage) as well so if you wanted to you could use a non inverted game on this monitor.

A standard capkit should work fine.
 
Looks just like the monitor in my DK Jr cabinet, without the inverter board.

I would assume your DKjr monitor has the tube oriented vertically in the frame, no? Like so:

vs this one, which is horizontally mounted (note the protective bars on the back):

if you take a closer pick of the chassis i could tell you.
i cant see the chassis threw the neck board and shield.

i have 2 of what looks like your monitor in one of my red tents and they fit and work fine.

Go measure your tube diagonally across the face, I'll bet you'll get 18 inches, not 19 like this one. I have a red tent here for comparison, those monitors are Sharps and smaller.
 
i can't my tents are not at my house.
they are in a buddy's game room 45min away.

they are a little bigger if i recall correctly.
i have several tents and cocktails. all but one of my tents have the sharp models and all of my cocktails have the sanyo's.

That looks exactly like a Red Tent monitor. It has the same front stickers on the mounting bracket, same mounting bracket, and clear anode cap shield.
 
You're turning Japanese, I really think so

Silly Japanese measuring tactics, always trying to make things bigger :D

You measure the viewable area in the US, they measure overall glass size in Japan. Evidently Phet is Japanese :p

It's a 18-Z2AB, the 18" monitor used in DKJR and Popeye cocktails. Also physically interchangeable (entire unit, not tubes) with the Sharp XM-1801 in the Red Tents.

It uses a specific capkit and flyback unique to it.

P.S. : Wanna sell it or trade it for a 13" for those cabaret projects, hit me up.

And confirming the burn-in on the tube, I would definitely say that's DK Jr burn-in.
