@@ScarletSprites good deal! That's awesome of you to give him some recognition on your channel he definitely deserves it. I'll have to check out some more of your content.
i remember that game in the arcade back in the day . i loved it! it was right across from mortal combat 2. awesome that your preserving these CRT arcades!
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I’ll do a few more here and there and see how it goes. I figure people can always choose to not watch the off the cuff stuff if they don’t want to.
Legit, love it! nothing beats original crt running on original hardware, the curvature, scanlines and colours are gorgeous. I wish they would start making crt again for the arcade purists, re release these cabs for sale etc
Sadly, I think I read that the last CRT factory is now closed. What we have is what we have, and it's probably only going to become more difficult to replace these in the years to come. It's a tough place to be because we have no new incoming CRT stock, and 4:3 LCDs that are more than 20" are pretty much non-existent. Rock and a hard place.
This really is amazing Scarlet. I love seeing video game maintenance and repair videos to help educate the masses. Seeing this really makes me glad that we have the technicians to help benefit the community bro. 8^) Always a pleasure to see you in action and works Scarlet. 8) Anthony...
Great vid SS, I appreciate this type of content. The Nanao chasis, from what I understand are well built and durable. I see many folks state only cap kit needed for picture issues and such. But Im a fan of cap kit and new flyback. Anyhoot, keep em coming, Ill be watching. Ill definitely give Chad a holler, I have need for some work. Thank You again!
Thanks for the kind words man! Chad is definitely my goto for a thorough repair/cleanup of a chassis. It’s not a fast turnaround time but he does do them right.
Have a lot in common. I too have a Virtua Fighter, but i did remove the CRT (early in my collecting). But i do have that same monitor sitting right beside it. A Nanao MS8-26su iirc. also have the original chassis board for the one that came out of Virtua Fighter downstairs. Sega used Nanao monitors on just about all the great Sega racers in the 90s, have a half dozen or more of them up and running. Always a great monitor and they (at least for me) respond excellent to a chassis re-cap.
This one turned out pretty well too, and yes, it’s an MS8-26SU. The Virtua Racing I have has Wells Gardners in it, but both the Astro and Blast City cabs I have are Nanaos. The Blast has some convergence issues which I’ve moderately masked with some convergence strips. I’ve considered getting it recalled and cleaned up but I’m not sure that’s a silver bullet for the convergence issues in this case. What Sega racing games do you have? I’d still like to get Daytona at some point.
The thing with these monitors such as for exp. hantarex polo is that yoi have to keep them running more then 2 hours when you turn them on, and its recommended that you power them up at least 3 times a week. So turn that bad boy on 3 times a week and keep it running at for 2 hours minimum.
I've heard a few people talk about that from time to time actually. It usually triggers a debate. Either way though, I don't think I'll have an issue with having these turned on and running several times a week. I often have them just powered up when I'm working on something and then hop around and randomly play stuff like I have ADHD.
Your chassis was not corroded, all ms8-26's used to came from the factory with lots of flux residue underneath de main pcb, specially near the flyback transformer solder pads, the only thing the technician had to do was to use a toothbrush and isoprpyl alcohol.
When it comes to preservation of videogames, especially pre-HD videogames, is the fact that all the various CRTs will eventually die and will not be repairable. Having CRTs are important for reference when trying to preserve the look how these games are supposed to look which makes them important for upscaling and filters.
Hanging on to them as long as I can. I never done a tube rejuvenation but that whole process interests me as well. At this point I’ve been looking for CRT tube televisions people are listing for free. In a worse case you can try to tube swap or even get a line for component.
great video great concept I was really enjoying this. I too have a busted crt for a while now. Time to make a move! Needs to be saved. It's in my Astro City 2 Cabinet
SCARLET SPRITES, an arcade games raster signals are vertical sync and horizontal sync. For arcade games vector games the vector signals are vertical deflection and horizontal deflection signals. How is the V&H sync signals different compared to V&H deflection signals? I'm confused how the raster signals are different compared to vector signals what are the differences? Most arcade power supplies use only one filter cap rated at 27,000uf and higher, any reasons why such a very large capacitance?
I’m not too proud to say that that’s well beyond my scope of expertise. I suspect that’s a great question for the tech section over at KLOV forums, someone can likely weigh in on that for you.
Scarlett, could you find something on these MAK crt monitors. I have a cab project I'm working on and I can't find how these modern 4:3 CRT connect to modern PCs. Thanks.
MAK as in Makvision? Makvision I usually see as an aftermarket replacement. Usually a Wei-ya or clone from china. See them as both dual mode and tri mode. If yours has a vga cable, it is likely tri mode and you can use a PC that is forced into VGA mode via a custom video card solution like ArcadeVGA or by software drivers/hacks
Chad from arcadecup is a friend of mine. I actually had him on my channel where I interviewed him and we talked about arcade monitor rekindling.
That’s awesome! I actually just got another chassis back from him last week for my Daytona Twin.

It was the first fighter I really played after Street Fighter. Graphically there just wasn’t anything like it when it hit. A pioneer of 3D fighters.
I like these kind of videos. Still more structured and better prepared than most other vids on youtube.

@@ScarletSprites def a market for crt maker to supply to collectors or purists, maybe someone will open one up 👍

Congrats! That's gotta feel so satisfying getting that guy tip-top!
Yeah! I’ll probably show the t-molding being stripped at some point too. That’s next on the list.

Nice. Like that you have the pair of Virtua machines also!

Looking good! Love the arcade vids
Thanks Paul, I have a few more queued up to edit and unleash at some point.

It may take a couple hundred years before we reach that point. LOL.
New lesson ! Thank you , Joe ! Like it !
Thanks man, hopefully more to come.
I loved the video please keep them coming.
Thanks Kelly! There will be at least a few more. Thanks for the positive feedback.
great video
great concept
I was really enjoying this. I too have a busted crt for a while now.

Thanks man. It’s expensive, but I would bet Chad can get it going for you.
Looks good.
The filming of the screen didn’t do it justice, but yes, it looks great in person.
@@ScarletSprites I believe you. It's always better in person then on camera. Unless if you have a super expensive camera
This was an excellent video!
Thanks for the support as always Linda!

Wish I had done this with my Sonic the Fighters cab.. I ended up completely tearing off the crt and replacing it with a multi-sync lcd screen...
At least you still have it up and running. It’s unfortunate that 4:3 LCDs are getting harder to find, and weren’t made in 25” sizes.
I like when you say ... for next 15-20years !
🤞
Amazing
Filming the screen didn’t do it justice, but yeah, it looks great!
What does the grease around the diode hole do?
My understanding is that it prevents moisture from getting into the tube and becoming trapped.
Scarlett, could you find something on these MAK crt monitors. I have a cab project I'm working on and I can't find how these modern 4:3 CRT connect to modern PCs.
Thanks.
Do those use a VGA connection? I’ve seen them for sale, but never one in person (that I was aware of).
