Did arcade games REALLY use Tube-driven monitors??

[colorfixer]

Only the very early "silver age" games such as Computer Space and stuff contemporary with TVs of the era that were hybrid or last gasp had tubes. Pong for example had a solid state B/W tv hacked into a monitor. Every color game I've seen, even those with modified TV receivers have had solid state monitors.

That i8s what I expected..EVERY modern (80's-now) video game I have seen in ...the monitor was boring looking, often hot chassis, and used chips for V-out and such-like tv sets of the day. Usually a single--boring to look at board.

Computer Space used the General Electric SF chassis b/w, same as the 12" b/w tv sets used. it was a hybrid tube chassis. Always thought that was interesting. And every SE or SF set I found over the years worked well as is, but many had weak CRTs(low emission)

I have a SUPER PACMAN game in my room which I believe uses a CRT
