Title: Usefull TV models for replacing the arcade monitor
Post by: Reboot on May 19, 2012, 04:53:58 PM

Because i have a few cabinets with non working screens, i wondered which tv's i could use to replace them, when repairing them isn't an option.

Some mention their works in their forum topic, but isn't it usefull for all of us if there is a sticky tread with a list of all the models that have been used so you don't have to read hundred of pages to find them again when you need it?

So my question: Who has replaced their screens with a tv and what was the model of the tv and for what cabinet?

You've got a new mission my friend ! :)

If there's also 25"es with 100 degr. med-res tubes you _MUST_ get them for sure ! :)


What I would love in that list is pictures of those TVs. I mean....going through all the typenumbers is a lot of hassle and very often on places like Marktplaats they don't mention a typenr. if they offer CRT TVs.....

But....very nice site and thanks for the tip Etienne !

You can check all the models for sale here:
http://elektronika.vatera.hu/televizio_antenna/kepcsoves_hagyomanyos_tv/index_c5100.html?cm=1&q=orion
Average price is 10-20 eur for a working unit, but I guess non-working ones are also fine if you only need the tube. ;)
