I can definitely help with this one as I' going through it atm...
Yes got the 2 different revisions I forget the models.Which Nanao chassis are you using and are they the right pairing for the tube? If not you need to check/change the heater resistor to fix the dimness problem. If they are original chassis that were paired to the tube from factory then may need a rejuve.
Right on, the Makvision being a flat screen will not fit flush with your bezel so you may need to add some foam if the gap bothers you. Don't get rid of the Blast tubes or chassis, you will likely want them later.Yes got the 2 different revisions I forget the models.Which Nanao chassis are you using and are they the right pairing for the tube?

mine had an extensive video pcb and the other had a smaller pcb with GUI.
JIC I swapped chassis after reinstall action to rule that out and had the same dimness after the chassis swap and worse convergence.
I believe the tubes are worn out but have not tried the heater resistor.
I’m happy to in the future but for now I am really looking for advice on a Makvision drop in replacement.
What are you going to use on the Makvision pin header to connect to these sources.I can definitely help with this one as I' going through it atm...
The left one is the power (red and blue) and degauss (thick red cables), the right one is RGBSG.
The way it's designed is the monitor bracket is supposed to have the female versions of those connectors and if you follow through those cables, you'll see it route to the 15 way TE Amp connector and plug to the side of the monitor.
Here's what is normally on the blast city monitor frame
I would never throw away the original tubes or the frames. I tried a tube swap but could only get the color green after finding the right impedance, curvature and pin countYes got the 2 different revisions I forget the models.Which Nanao chassis are you using and are they the right pairing for the tube?

This is the same monitor that is in the AWSD and E3 and they make a VGA cable to use that might be easier than that header. You can order one here - https://na.suzohapp.com/products/accssories/5504-312915P-0Sorry, I wrote that in the wrong context.. I'm not going through the same (changing the blast monitors with a makvision), I'm going through the same as in trying to restore a blast city
That being said, you should be able to get the respective connectors and plug them into the montior.
The plugs you've got come from the cab, they are connected to the degauss button on the control panel and the AC to the cab, the rgbsg is to the jamma edge.
I'm not sure of the exact pins on the makvision if it has a manual degauss or not.
Is this the only pin/connector you have for RGBSGND? I can't say i know what the other pins are for
The NNC Appreciation thread had a good comparison of some different options for getting JAMMA in a NNC. The TLDR from that thread seems to be the Jammafier + TrySync Helper is a solid choice for getting JAMMA added to a NNC with better video sync compatibility.I went to go test the monitor after recap on the New Net City and noticed their was no JAMMA.
What’s the best route I should go on this machine specifically for JVS to JAMMA.
JVS is new grounds for me. I have a Capcom IO from my MVC2 cab and I’ve been eyeing those Jammafier from @invzim
Which one would work best for NNC?
Is the Jassifier @jassin000 a better replacement for the tri sync helper or is that LCD specific?The NNC Appreciation thread had a good comparison of some different options for getting JAMMA in a NNC.
