Title: What ancient Hantarex is this monitor ?
Post by: Level42 on October 10, 2007, 01:12:58 pm

Does anybody recognize this Hantarex monitor ?

There's heaps of plug-in modules, all Hantarex branded. The tube has a sticker Hantarex A51-211X.
Must be from around 1980.

I remember those monitors,they suffered from very bad solder connections around the header cards  and i seriously doubt the flyback is still available
if it works then its worth getting if its really cheap,if its not working then don't touch

I actually already have it since it's in the Puckman cab I bought last week :)

I kinda like the modular build-up. The CRT has been replaced in 1981 which meant the original didn't last very long ! (As this is a Puckman I figure the cab isn't really that much older). I'll see what it does, if it does anything. If it takes too much time, it'll be replaced by a TV :D

i am pretty those monitors had one hell of a charge left in the tube so be careful when you discharge the tube

Thanks for the heads-up, but if the seller is correct the cab stopped working a year ago....will be careful though :)
