It was from ebay, it was on here for a while.Very nice! May I ask where you found this? Was it from Hantarex themselves? I managed to get hold of a 25" version of one of these a good few years ago now, not NOS but as good as. Unfortunately where I was storing it (along with some of my other stuff) got a bit damp so the frame's got a bit rusty underneath on one side but the monitor itself is fine. Came with a bunch of arcade monitors from an op I think, not sure why they had one as I was fairly sure these were either used in stuff like video walls or bowling alley scoreboard monitors etc.
The seller informed me he got it in a warehouse clearance.
Yes they got used in video walls etc.
It sure has a great picture for arcade games 🕹.
Also I had a chat with the guy at https://www.visualimageservices.co.uk/ as he worked for Hantarex.
My god I'm so jealous. Only ever saw two of these. One in an arcade somewhere and one in racking at a distributors. Reckon I could have got it for £150 but was 15 years ago and brain wasn't working properly.

I wouldn’t envy me, you could stick another zero on that price and you’d still be well under, plus it’s very much not-working 😬. (Those are broken 33” high-spec Mitsubishi screens, not Polos- well the outer two are, the middle is now a random RCA tube without a chassis)
At least the ROMs were good…

Yeah, got it last week. Nice guy, made me a cheese sandwich for the journey home and was very happy about it being dumped.
I get the hesitance to part with it as it’s definitely something special, but now I’ve got it, a restoration is a massive project (it was genuinely untested). Not sure I’ll own it forevermore, just weighing up what needs to be done and how original it has to stay when you can’t get parts.
Interestingly the one in Bangkok is missing the soundbar and has a smaller centre screen - looks worse for it.

Is there an actual link to my video there?
I see someone’s cut sections of it into their own video on Twitter 😐
Nice if it’s getting interest anyway; I seem to have a few viewers to my video

Cheeky bastards. If I was on twitter/‘x’ I’d say something. Suppose I am dumping a game, so can’t be too high and mighty about copyright

Holy shit, 331,000 views (his video, not mine)
Just got these in the post 😃
Seimitsu 45th Anniversary, hope I get on with them as I have always used Sanwa sticks.
Great fast service from Arcade Parts UK.
One strange thing, one of the sticks has a serial number of 00889...I thought they only made 800?
