    Hello!

    I'd take a couple. Where are you, though?

    Are they open frame or do they have a case?

    OK. I'll collect and store for the others unless they want to collect for themselves.

    Would be worth it if someone popped down just to power one on and see if theres any screen burn.

    15 years of bowling alley score grids might be burned into them. Hopefully not! :)

    Yes, they could be bad, but I'll see when I get there. Even if the tubes are bad, the chassis might be useful.

    I got six of these so far. I'll get the rest later in the week.

    The good news is they have no burn, on account of the way the display was refreshed regularly.

    Inside they're a Ceronix CGA monitor. The only add-on is a signal processing board that can be bypassed as described on this page:
    http://raster-burn.net/wordpress/tag/ceronix/

    I'm trying out one, and it degaussed and powered on briefly before going off again, but that might be because it had no signal. Inputs to the signal board are Molex .062 12-way connectors. I've ordered some of those to see if input from a console or arcade setup can be sent to the signal panel. It depends on whether it accepts composite video as composite sync.

    The metal brackets for hanging the monitors are also there, if anyone has a notion to hang a pair of monitors from the ceiling.

    Thanks to F34 for keeping these and offering them here.

    Very cool.
    Any pics of them ?


  • Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yes.

    I'm not sure these will be much good to anyone playing console games. I gave up trying to send signals to the inputs on the case. The monitor just shuts down because certain signals are missing, and these probably must come from a control panel somewhere.

    I bypassed the signal board, and got the monitor to display from an arcade board, so that's what these are useful for - either displaying arcade boards at home in a relatively safe monitor with a case, or as replacement arcade monitors when they're out of the case.

    They look like they have a nice picture.
