Hello,
Well since monitors are not my cup of tea, I need to ask how trashed this monitor on a Space Duel is. I just got this cabinet, and noticed there was a black line on the screen. So I took the front off to clean it and noticed its not external but internal. Is this fixable ?
Thanks,
Tom

Game plays but when objects fly infront of the line I see the black. Better to get this figured out before powering it back up in my opinion.
Thanks,
Tom
 
Here's what you do, 6100 tubes were designed after the etcher sketch screen. Hold the tube face down and shake it. It will fill back in and be like new again.
 
Yeah good luck with that. If you can find a tube it can be fixed but yuck. I have a nice working complete monitor I'd sell you but you are too far away to pick it up and I really don't want to ship this thing. I bet someone down in your neck of the woods has one they'd sell you though if you post in the wanted section.
 
There are some 100 degree tv tubes out there. I have pulled a few out of Woodgrain Zenith TV sets from the 80s. The only issue is that the red and blue guns are reversed. (Easily fixed by swapping inputs on the neckboard)
 
The better question is what assclown left the monitor on that long with the deflection board screwed up? Man that sucks, that's the worst I've ever seen. Maybe it happened on location and nobody noticed it for hours or something.
