6 arcade monitors for .99 cents?? Anyone near San Antonio TX?
mp2526:
Looks like a 10 finger edge connector slides onto the main component board.

Sounds like something like the old greenscreens that were used in mainframe dummy terminals....
AlanS17:
greenscreen... *shivers*
Lilwolf:
the company who made the tubes sell two 9" b&w crt. Nothing else that small.
So it probably is..
Now the question is... those all took composite input. These might make a very nice second monitor for controls or frontend type uses on a cab...
Or for the money you paid... The of how much fun they would be to throw off the top of a parking structure! I bet they make a pretty cool sound!

The CE663 picture tube is 9" and is made in standard B&W, Amber, and Green phosphor. The monitor size and edge connector appear to be the same as the 9" monitors used in the English Mark Dart games. It uses a standard 10 pin card edge connector and the pinout is as follows (from the right to left):
1 Ground (common)
2 no connection
3 External brightness control (100k pot, if used)
4 External brightness control (wiper)
5 no connection
6 TTL horiz drive input
7 +12 volts @ 1 amp power input
8 composite video input
9 TTL vert drive input
10 Ground (common)
I'm sure these monitors can operate on either TTL or standard composite video, but I would try composite video from like say from a VCR or video camera first.
