Wohoooooooooooo, you have very nice, sharp screen now. :D
It is always an exciting feeling to turn on the machine for the first time after some repairing. ;D

Hah, that would be brilliant as it would save me loads of time.... :D

I haven't even fiddled with the focus control yet and it looks razor sharp in real life, even a HD cam doesn't capture it 100%. For the people who paid close attention, the scores were off of the top of the screen, but that would simply be a case of adjusting the pots on the game PCB but didn't want to because it is set perfect for the monitor in the Asterock.

I do have to replace the contrast potmeter as it is jittery when I turn it, the brightness one is fine (there was already a new(er) one hacked in, a good job because it's much easier to reach than the original one the way they put it on.

I don't think anything can beat the light show of a B/W vector in the dark....not even the Amplifone in the SW cockpit reaches that "impact level". The intense brightness of the shots, the streaking "afterglow" of the phosphor.....love it ! :)

All in all, an excellent deal, thanks Rémi !!!!!
