Canada doesn't have mail trucks? :o.... I would go back to the cat that sold you that cab and see if maybe that tube is on the shelf or something before you get too far into this.

I am trying to find a CRT. But they are not easy to find out in arcade wasteland. It would help if I knew that any 25" CRT (TV or Monitor) would work ...I have no chassis, yoke or frame. I doubt finding a 25" CRT at my local recycling depot would magically plug and play into my 3 vacant wiring connectors... (being the 3 pin RGB, the 3 pin H/V synch w ground, and the other one 2 pin I dont know yet what it is). Tried to upload pics but they are too large a file, so will try again.

Thanks NW, I had no idea those even existed until now. Anyone vouch for success using this product? Does open up some possibilities (I think).

Haha yes Jennifer, Canada does have mail trucks, mind you we are expected to get 2 ft of snow overnight. Believe me I did ask / beg the cat that sold me this cab to have another look/ give me some details where the monitor and chassis went, but he couldn't remember. Im thinking its in another one of his machines but regardless, same empty handed result. I looked at the tri-mode 25" CRT avail from Niemen Displays today online (they are in Canada! On the other side of the country), and therefore the mail truck will be big bux I'm thinking to ship to me, but nevertheless I will ask them for a price tomorrow.
