Street Find Sharp Image monitor
« on: May 03, 2020, 11:17:02 pm »
About a week ago, I came across a Galaga cabinet that had been thrown in the garbage, of all places. Within it, it had a Sharp Image brand monitor chassis with an unmarked Sony Trinitron tube. When I first got the monitor out of the console, I made some jumper connections on the crt connection board, as it had gotten cracked. Upon plugging the chassis in, I heard a bunch of static, along with a bizzare noise coming from the flyback. I suspect here the flyback itself is going dead, as the chassis looks to have been recapped at one point. Even more bizzare is that I can't find anything relating to this exact Sharp Image model on their website or anything. Only clues are there two stickers on the monitor chassis. One reads "19in Sony MF" in comic sans, while the other just gives the monitor's production date (November of 2000)
