Acquired alongside a Victor monitor; both had one hell of a rough ride in transit. Fortunately this one fared a lot better than the Victor.
🚨To CRT enthusiasts. This is what @SendicoOfficial considers protective packaging when shipping CRTs. Got a package on the 29th of November with 1 Ikegami and 1 JVC shattered due to insufficient protection, Sendico is ghosting me. 🧵below with all the details. #retrogaming #CRT
This is what they looked like when I purchased them. The previous pictures may lead you to believe the JVC bezel didn’t look so bad but it is structural and the tube was sitting against the PCBs because of that and it fell to pieces as soon as I unscrewed it to get inside.
@SendicoOfficial For the purpose of full disclosure and to give credit where it is due, here is a screenshot that shows that, in the end, Sendico did come through and make good on their word. The process wasn't entirely smooth but the outcome was positive. Thank you all.
Not wanting to keep people in suspense any longer and having already gone public with what happened with my Sendico shipment, here are some pics of the surviving monitor. The Ikegami works and the tube is in pretty good shape. #RETROGAMING #CRT #Sega #StreetsOfRage #MegaDrive

Shoutout to my homie @nunofgs for coming through with the print as usual. Also a massive shoutout to user L1mer4in on @usa_retro's discord for hooking me up with the file for the model. My Ikegami HTM-1005R has been made whole again thanks guys. #RETROGAMING #CRT #Sega #Sonic
