Before buying a Wells-Gardner monitor, read about their problems

Yup, they are still around. I was just on their site a few minutes ago:

I know their site has been experiencing sporadic outages the past couple of weeks. Also, some people in foreign countries have been unable to access the site at all. The owner became fed up with all the spam registrations and blocked many countries.

Thanks Ken, this might lead me away from buying the 9400.  Now if can only find a 27" TV with power return...

I bought a D9200 3 years back (I imported from the US, I live in europe!!!). Read this thread a tad too late...
It was fried after 2 months. Had it fixed and up until now, I haven't had any major problems, but I'm not all that happy with the quality.
I am looking for alternatives as well (and dare I say it, yes that includes LCD alternatives), because of alle the bad stories I'm hearing.
CRT monitors are dying off, a shame for our hobby...

hi ppl
there is another piece of info i want to add to this thread to watch for in the w/g's
simple fact's
they drive the yoke's so hard that they tend to over heat and the plastic that hold's the yoke in place
will become brittle and break..>right at the neck<,this is a very bad
reason is because if they slip., and yes they will..u run the risk of shorting out and or binding the winding's
of the yoke..
your olny recourse here
is to "re-bond" the yoke,this is a multi step process
and u must inspect before u even move the monitor...most important
also a wise man would do it anyway's
if u ppl are interested
i will write a  read-me to do this
