    Blast City / MS-2931 Interference on VGA Input

    I've a very similar issue with my Grundig CRT, it uses the same tube as Blast, so I ended up here looking for Blast interference issues. I've seen this type of S-shaped squiggle overlaying the screen (see to the left of woman's nose in pics) on an RGB modded CRT that went away when I removed...

    NEC TM-151 aka TV15

    Long shot but need a ROM dump of this Monitor's unique IC, 78014CW. It's the UPd78014 family, but need the specific firmware.

    mS-2930, very low neck (RGB) voltages

    I went in blind on this repair, to work with just the chassis and no cab or tube was a guessing game, and I guessed wrong. There were a few dead resistors and bad caps, but overall the board was in decent shape. The prior attempts to get the tube started had shown neck glow on the filaments...

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    I can minimize the moire effect, the only way I found works is find a decent contrast and bright level, some combinations will eliminate it. You must have the DPL version which is 100hz, the TOP version I have is 15khz. I think the moire may be partially due to an incorrect A+ voltage, but I'm...

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    A few screenshots. Any tips on getting rid or lowering moire?

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    Must be nice to have Grundigs with Toshiba tubes around, i don't think any consumer sets really compare after playing on the Grundig. I'll take a few pics tonight, I got in to the service menu and made some adjustments. Does yours' have any moire? Do you know a way to cancel it out?

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    Well that was a dusty debacle. I couldn't leave this Grundig chassis all full of dust if it's going to be a daily driver. It's actually a very cool design, a Philips IC with a Blast tube is a very nice match. Porsche IC might be behind the service menu options. Very bright and amazing...

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    Found this Porsche chip on the LCD board, it was behind the chassis under the tube. Not sure what Porsche had to do with a TDA (vid processing?) IC, a little odd.

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    Thanks for sharing that! I just ordered the TP760 from Germany a few days ago, so I can't check out what menus I have. In fact, I can't even adjust brightness yet, only volume and inputs. I'll report back once the remote arrives, thanks for sharing the vid I'd like to try it I was reading...

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    Maybe you're right. Just got hopeful to have a monitor that takes care of 15-31khz.. but it's a bit ambitious considering the majority of my gaming is done on 15khz content.

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    C'mon man a D-Series? I'd be downgrading a lot. I'm just hoping to run a MiSTerCade Jamma Kit in to it. I already own some high quality monitors. Anyways I won't bore you with my setup, I'm just testing the waters.

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    Just talked with the Blast chassis owner, he might sell it to me if the cost of repair is too high. This Blast needs a complete overhaul, so I had to give a high quote for parts etc. Anyways he's thinking about it. Here's some pics of the POTs, they have filament glow but no picture. I'm...

    Note taken, won't try that. Thank you

    Found Grundig w/ Blast City Tube

    I'd need to find my own MS-29 chassis, but wouldn't know how to turn it On with out a Cab and all the buttons and switches. Is there a switchboard one can purchase to go with an arcade chassis that delivers these options? This one's perfect but pricy Sanwa 15-31khz I'd consider housing the...
