Scanline photos from original 1980's arcade monitors.

Post by andykara2003 »

Does anyone have any close-up photos of scanlines from original 1980's arcade machine CRTs? I'd be interested in what a well preserved shadow mask CRT looks like from that era. I understand that well preserved CRTs from the '80s will probably be few and far between so this might be a long shot.....

Next time I go to the barcade here I'll snap a pic of the Ghost 'n Goblins machine. Looks so good
