"The monitor is alos different than most other GO8s. It has a sticker on it
that says "MOD installed" and it has some extra stuff on it. I have
actually never looked at it, but I an told the monitor has added circuitry
probably because SEGA wanted the game to work through the entire show!
It does work perfect. It probably has less than a day or 2 worth of play
on it since we got it.. We do not bring it to our exibitions because we
dont want it messed up! We tried running SEGA vector games in the exhibit
before (we have all of them except for a complete eliminator), but I had
to fix it (it was a Tac/Scan) 3 times in 4 days, so I pulled it out. In
the future we would like to put a few SEGA vector games in, but I'd need
to make them more reliable. I have had NO problems with the monitors, just
the boards and PS. Of course I do have a lot of broken monitors that need
attention too :)

If you get a chance some time, I'd be curious to see what the mods were.
I think it may be time to get serious about redoing the G08 deflection
amplifier board. Using modern parts it should be possible to eliminate
almost all of the discrete transistors, and that stupid custom IC..
