Finally got the Mitsubishi XC-3715 in the house today. Cost me $85 AUD
It was bought in 1987 and then sold to the previous owner in 1989. Since then it was used as a standard tv so for 90% of its life it hasnt been used in a work enviroment. Obviously the quality isnt 100% as it's over 20 years old but it's still looking good.
Weigh's 100KG's and it took me and my father to get it up two flights of stairs. Now both our backs are quite fucked and my hands have no grip. But hell was it worth it. This will be the monitor I'm using for arcade PCB's later on.
Some pics! Dreamcast!
EDIT: forgot to add, this is via S-VIDEO. RGB will look heaps better as it wont be going through a 20 year old video processor and comb filter. There's still a lot of calibrating that could be done to get the picture just right though.
Also came with its service manual with all schematics etc.
Fuck yeah!
