Golden Tee 2005 - replace original monitor with available alternatives
grantspain:
you can get the odd monitor beyond repair or beyond economical repair, for example if a part such as a flyback is no longer available or the tube is damaged. The majority of the time chassis can be repaired.
If you could post some photo's of the chassis and find out what the actual problem is from the tech that visited
in the uk these cabs were fitted with hantarex polo 2 auto monitors, I would expect usa to have either wells gardner or neotec
maybe if you are in a hurry to get the cab running then fit a lcd and converter as a temporary measure and then search for someone to fix the original monitor, there are plenty of repair techs in the usa and some of which will be on this forum
jacko1:
Is there a converter that goes directly to HDMI? I found one on AliExpress but no idea if it's any good. If not, is there a recommended second converter that will take the VGA from the GB-8200/8220 to HDMI without adding lag/problems/etc. ?

It kinda went on/off a couple times and then just off and that was it.

all the IT green/red board games use non-standard video resolutions. not normally an issue for CRT monitors where you can just tweak the ol' horizontal and vertical hold to dial in a picture, computer monitors, especally LCD's are pretty picky with resolutions being within the established standard.

The repair person said to purchase a GB-8200/8220, and also mentioned the switches so I'm guessing that means switch to standard resolution. That will work won't it?

I wasn't there to discuss it with the repair person myself but if I understand correctly the original monitor is beyond repair, or perhaps as you say beyond economical repair.
We are planning to get something temporary going as my friend will apparently die if he cannot play Golden Tee for a few weeks, and continue looking for a monitor that fits well and has VGA.
