At night, the spot-killer comes.

All those wires and my fear of not being able to keep a vector monitor happy have long conspired to keep me from buying an old Tempest cab. The Replicade Tempest has been a fun stopgap.
Gross. CRT or GTFO.
Had I your engineering skill, can-do spirit, and also I lack sufficient available space for a full-size arcade machine.
I'm a big believer in having a real vector CRT as well, I just don't have one.
I have been beating my head against this for 60 days, I wouldn't put too much stock in my engineering skill.
I'd have blown something up by day 2 and had to order a new whatever part that I didn't completely understand how to install.

A close friend of mine is a real wrench-turner. He has a bunch of broken parts hung on his "Wall of Shame," as examples where he screwed up. Me? I made a cassette digitizing system out of a high-speed duplicator. In the process, I fried my DAQ. Taught me a lesson in the value of zener diodes, and added several weeks to the project while I trawled eBay for another one. If you could bronze a circuit board, I would...
