Think of all the common problems a Blast City can have. now, imagine them all in one cabinet!
I am positive this entire cabinet was dropped really hard in the past. The tube looks like the shadow mask has warped or become detached from its normal position.
I've seen similar issues in a PVM that was dropped, and also in a few Sanwa PFX monitors that had been shipped.
There are these cracks under the control panel, cutting in pretty deep on both sides.
This might be worse than the control panel - there is a big crack right above a point at which the metal frame screws in to the fiberglass.
And the classic blast speaker syndrome.
I've made some stub posts to describe dealing with each of these issues below, which I'll update with pictures or info as needed.
- Permanent monitor tube damage
- Missing parts
- Speaker rot
- Body cracks below control panel
- Stripped CP and PSU screws
- Internal body crack near monitor mount
- Screaming power supply fan
- Pushed in speaker grills
