Biggest problem with the monitors 'blowing up' were problems with the
ground connections at the power supply Molex pin connections causing
bias issues leading to overdeflection and general nasty stuff
happening.... If those common/ground connections are beefed up then the
Sega/Electrohome monitor is quite reliable.

I've done a few upgrades of old Sega games (Star Treks etc.) where I
replaced the original power supply with a switcher, and made good, solid
(not solid wire!), ground connections between the boards and the monitor
and none have failed since - at least no owner has contacted me to fix
them since we sold them up to ten years ago.
