Photos soon (got to find the camera).

the goood and the bad and the odd...

The good is the cabinet, very nice. Also the chassis, no rust or other damage, looks like the set was nver moved.

the bad

CRT is acting flakey, red gun pulses, socket glue is loose, Fly is toast (burned up), flame and smoke on the intial test run.

the odd

the CRT was unpluged, hmmm, most of the screws were missing from the back.

My guess is someone tried plugging it in, and after smoke came out it decided in typical DA logic that unpluging the CRT (and prob breaking the socket joint) would make it ok. Just a guess, OR at some time the CRT was tested, and at that time the fly was also bad so the owner just told the service guy to button it up and not fix.




I am searching my stash of flys and have put out some calls. it takes a fly 277. the sylvania PN is 50-16016-1. hopefully I can find one or cobble something togehter. I am not sure what to make of the CRT. Hope its not on its last legs.
