I have 3 games needing monitor repair or replacement

PacMan O.G. Upright
NFL Blitz 2000 Gold
Lethal Enforcers

I see Trinitons on Craigslist for free all the time in my area. Should I consider using them? Should I swap in an LCD in The NFL Blitz?

What are my cheapest options to get them running?

I also have a Capcom bowling that has a bit of burn in so it might be on its way out.

I am kind of diving head first into the hobby right now and would appreciate all the guidance and knowledge this great community can offer!!

Monitor burn is to be expected for 30 year old crts. I never understood the whole LCD vs CRT debate till I got a couple cabinets, even with some light to moderate burn I like the crt image better now, but i would have said just LCD everything before.

As for your other issues post some pictures of your monitor images and someone can point you in the right direction to getting them looking good again. Options may include deguassing, cap kits, monitor pot adjustments, or even adjusting the yoke rings.
