Picked up this guy for less than $400.  The ball won't come out, and there are a few other mechanical issues, but the lighting and sound works great. Anyone have experience with one of these?

Welp, problem solved, just checked craigslist and snagged a 32" Trinitron for $25.  Bouya!  (Pics of build coming real soon.)

Sweet, I'll keep my eyes peeled... I do have a Sanyo 32 flat tube kicking around. Shouldn't be too hard to convert, although it only has composite inputs.  Not sure if I can convert to DVI or HDMI without a scaler/down converter?

I have been working on a custom Street Fighter 5 cab, and what I was going to end up using for the display was put on a back burner until the game actually came out.  However, since it was announced. finally. a few weeks ago, I've been playing with my options.  I don't really care for the way LCDs look, too bright, etc.  So, I was playing with the idea of using a 25"-32" tube TV.  I know the flat screen SONY trinitron TVs are traditionally the easiest, but they are impossible to come by now without a broken tube.  Any suggestions would be awesome.  Thanks!

Hey guys, I've got a Megatouch FORCE Upright 2006.5 that is stuck on an Auto Test screen.  I've reseated all the cabling and tested the power supply, everything seems good.  Nice crisp picture on the monitor, but I get no play activity.  There doesn't look like any bulging or burst caps anywhere, and I'm completely out of ideas.  Anyone got anything?
