There's a guy on KLOV who created Amplifone clone PCB's and sold them for a brief time. The project was taken over by another member and they are currently for sale. You get an Amplifone Deflection board (chassis), and a High Voltage power supply (like a flyback). All you need to supply is a 19"-25" color CRT (curved old school). The last step is rewinding the Yoke (some folks will do it for a fee).

In addition effort has been to create a Zector ZVG replacement (they run on DOS and aren't made anymore). The same guy who created the above has been working on this for some time. It is a vector generator that will allow you to output MAME video signals via USB to a specially designed PCB that creates the vector lines. The best place to get information and updates is on the Facebook page:

Here's a couple of video's to get you going:
So much more I could write, but maybe better to ask what questions I could answer?

I thought the KLOV grumps chased him off. Which is the reason he started a group on Facebook

Yup, you nailed it. Think you witnessed that first hand if memory serves.
