I just picked up a RFM that had been sitting in a guy’s basement for a really long time. It is filthy dirty but everything seems to be working but a few burned out bulbs. He claimed it has been in his position since new and spent only the first 9 mos. of its life in an arcade. It is in great shape and the monitor looks brand new. No burn-in or anything but it is too bright. It looks terrible because I can see the 4:3 “grey” square projected on the reflective glass. Isn’t there a brightness and contrast controls somewhere? I cannot find them.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I saw a picture of a white board with pots on it behind the backglass but mine does not have this. I'm thinking maybe the monitor may have been replaced. There is some weird looking board in the back though that looks like this. No pots though.

That was it. Thanks!
So my monitor must have been replaced at some point with an Orion A48JLL40X46 arcade monitor and the stock adjustment board is gone.
The one I have is easier to use though. I moved it to the front (long cable) so I could adjust while looking at the monitor. I turned the brightness way down and increased the contrast a bit and it looks so much better.
Thanks again,
Mark

Never knew that.
Thanks

I agree the term "HUO" may not meet anything but it would be the buyer's initial indication of wear, abuse, etc. But of course an inspection of it's condition will be the ultimate factor. My 5 newest machines are all "HUO" and I can only "prove" 1 of them.

Also, no flickering on my RFM with LED's either.

Completely different call outs and sounds.
