Anyone have any experience with these? Are they actually brand new or refurbed? How is the quality?

No idea which tube it is, but the chassis looks like a WeiYa C3129, I'm not touching that junk ever again...

Ordered 2 units new, both death on arrival, mine had a diode blown, my buddy's the HOT, after replacing the HOT it work for a few months and now dead again, can't seem to fix it this time.
He Sent it of for repair, got it back unfixed, guy couldn't help me.

I have always wanted the tri sync version. (Line doubled 240p native 640x480)

They are made by Makvision I believe.

The reason I would love one is because you can replace the capacitors easily with cap kits from arcade shops online to keep the picture juicy.

I just helped a friend with reviving a deep sea cabinet and the process of replacing caps was fairly easy.

I can't say the same about my pro monitor. It's picture rules but when it fades I don't think I'll be able to revive it.

But as far as geometry and picture quality goes. I have no idea. I have never owned one.

If a new HOT is blowing after a few months theres probably something inherently wrong in the chassis design... too bad. Did he try adding a larger heatsink to the HOT?

I suppose buying brand new quality CRTs were a bit too good to be true.

The HOT was dead on arrival and worked after replacing, no idea what the problem is now, we can't find it and a local arcade/pinball repair shop also couldn't fix it...
