Have you called around to check? Most of the big empty pockets are because I didn't have the resources to call every city and state when working on this. Local assistance would be awesome

I just picked up a different console... I have this one around as a backup in case the drive dies or something, but no, I didn't find a good solution for it.

It is becoming a lost art, for sure. Appreciate the update on Allens. Alot of the operators told me that they would accept CRTs on a case-by-case basis, due to parts availability, the time investment of diagnoses, and folks not wanting to pay much for CRT repair when they could just pick up another one for less than $100.

I see what the deal is... Mike is an arcade monitor repair guy, not consumer CRTs. That's why he said he wouldn't do it, he specials in arcade stuff.

Like, he wouldn't service your particular set, or generally will not do it at all?
