I will be replacing the whole unit. I think. RayB's comment makes me think I need to do more digging. From that I assume it's unlikely I would be able to source a monitor to use the existing frame?

I can also only assume that the neckboard is in good working order. Would the best thing to do be put it up in BST or eBay?

SirPeale:
Put it on B/S/T.  Don't know if you'll find anyone local since you're not in the USA, but you might.

Hey, I just scored a Gauntlet as well.
I did a bit better than you because I got mine for $200NZD which is about 70 pounds or about $130usd . Heh.

Oh, mine works too  :P

So, where are you going to get your art etc? Does someone repro this?
Mine has badly faded art. I know there is some art on local arcade so I will use what is there unless I can buy a package.

:D

I don't know what prices in NZ are like, but here, I did well :)

I was either going o scan  it and get it repro'd here or see what I can find. I h aven't done much research yet.

I have sorted a monitor, just waiting on a shipping quote before I take the plunge.

For info, if you're in the UK, Pentranic have gone bust. I didn't see it reported on here but while their site is still very live, they went under 6 weeks ago. I spoke to the Sales Director today

Cheers

spacies:
Mate, you did very well with the price.
Gauntlet is a Holy Grail to a lot of collectors and would be in the top 10 for many.
We both got an absolute bargain!

I am happy that someone else is doing one at the same time so we can exchange links etc.
If I decide to replace the tube and monitor chassis in mine I will just go with a TV tube and a universal chassis. Nice and simple.

:D
