Sadly, I think I read that the last CRT factory is now closed. What we have is what we have, and it's probably only going to become more difficult to replace these in the years to come. It's a tough place to be because we have no new incoming CRT stock, and 4:3 LCDs that are more than 20" are pretty much non-existent. Rock and a hard place.

Great vid SS, I appreciate this type of content. The Nanao chasis, from what I understand are well built and durable. I see many folks state only cap kit needed for picture issues and such. But Im a fan of cap kit and new flyback. Anyhoot, keep em coming, Ill be watching. Ill definitely give Chad a holler, I have need for some work. Thank You again!

Have a lot in common. I too have a Virtua Fighter, but i did remove the CRT (early in my collecting). But i do have that same monitor sitting right beside it. A Nanao MS8-26su iirc. also have the original chassis board for the one that came out of Virtua Fighter downstairs. Sega used Nanao monitors on just about all the great Sega racers in the 90s, have a half dozen or more of them up and running. Always a great monitor and they (at least for me) respond excellent to a chassis re-cap.

This one turned out pretty well too, and yes, it’s an MS8-26SU. The Virtua Racing I have has Wells Gardners in it, but both the Astro and Blast City cabs I have are Nanaos. The Blast has some convergence issues which I’ve moderately masked with some convergence strips. I’ve considered getting it recalled and cleaned up but I’m not sure that’s a silver bullet for the convergence issues in this case. What Sega racing games do you have? I’d still like to get Daytona at some point.

The thing with these monitors such as for exp. hantarex polo is that yoi have to keep them running more then 2 hours when you turn them on, and its recommended that you power them up at least 3 times a week. So turn that bad boy on 3 times a week and keep it running at for 2 hours minimum.

I've heard a few people talk about that from time to time actually. It usually triggers a debate. Either way though, I don't think I'll have an issue with having these turned on and running several times a week. I often have them just powered up when I'm working on something and then hop around and randomly play stuff like I have ADHD.

Your chassis was not corroded, all ms8-26's used to came from the factory with lots of flux residue underneath de main pcb, specially near the flyback transformer solder pads, the only thing the technician had to do was to use a toothbrush and isoprpyl alcohol.

SCARLET SPRITES, an arcade games raster signals are vertical sync and horizontal sync. For arcade games vector games the vector signals are vertical deflection and horizontal deflection signals. How is the V&H sync signals different compared to V&H deflection signals? I'm confused how the raster signals are different compared to vector signals what are the differences? Most arcade power supplies use only one filter cap rated at 27,000uf and higher, any reasons why such a very large capacitance?

When it comes to preservation of videogames, especially pre-HD videogames, is the fact that all the various CRTs will eventually die and will not be repairable. Having CRTs are important for reference when trying to preserve the look how these games are supposed to look which makes them important for upscaling and filters.

Hanging on to them as long as I can. I never done a tube rejuvenation but that whole process interests me as well. At this point I’ve been looking for CRT tube televisions people are listing for free. In a worse case you can try to tube swap or even get a line for component.

MAK as in Makvision? Makvision I usually see as an aftermarket replacement. Usually a Wei-ya or clone from china. See them as both dual mode and tri mode. If yours has a vga cable, it is likely tri mode and you can use a PC that is forced into VGA mode via a custom video card solution like ArcadeVGA or by software drivers/hacks
