Blast City – We found a donor!
mR_CaESaR said: Shortly after posting this, I was sent a message by a friend to try a Panasonic TC-68GS71A for a consumer tube swap. Whilst not 100% perfect, he previously used it on a tube swap for the blast city and yielded acceptable results. I was able to purchase the Continue Reading
