Wahaaa, great !!! Keep going !

Did the monitor show signs of life ?

How about the blacklight tube ? Is it the wrong one as we thought so ? What size and wattage should be in there ?

I think there are two types blacklight, the dark tubes and the light, I think these games need the light one's ? Not sure...

Yeah I saw it on ThisOldGame.com. RS doesn't carry this one I'm afraid. The weird thing is that this is the same brand that they sent me for the Berzerk.....I'll drop them a mail if they can get them anyway....

Gotta love those oldie B/W chassis.....no vertical drive....I'm sure you fix it soon enough !

Did you further investigate the blacklight tube ? Maybe this _is_ a blacklight after all ? Check the codes etc. I think it was a Sylvana tube.

There's a Eiko company in Germany so maybe you can ask there where they sell these tubes in Holland.

I have a general electric tube in mine, same reference, bought locally. You should be able to find them.

What monitor is in there Robin ? It looks like a WG to me ? The Midway manual mentions the WG and the Motorola.

Good-old 100% analogue technology in that B/W beasty ! :D
