very interesting, i've nto seen one in person, or even heard of one before..

chances are it uses the Hoei vector monitor....

Which I have in my bootleg star castle cocktail table... i'm gonna pull it
out and take some photospictures and stuff.. The picture on my one is very
dim, you need to play the thing at night to see anything, i think the tube
is probably just about dead. Anyone got any suggestions on how to get the
best out of it? I was thinking of increasing the heater filament voltage to
squeeze some more life out of it..

That, or i'll try and find another tube from an old portable b/w tv :)

I need to take a picture of the bootleg starcastle board too, it is a small
set, consiting of two equal sized boards, with built in DAC's, strange DAC's
i've not seen before either :)
