The Nanao MS9-29 was an arcade monitor manufactured by the NANAO Corporation (now known as Eizo Corporation)[1]. The MS9-29 proved to be a popular choice of Sega Europe being fitted to many genre defining machines like Daytona USA and House of the Dead. It was also known for its usage in Sega New Astro City and Taito Egret II cabinets.
The MS9-29 was a successor to the previous MS8-29 in almost every way, with improved safety (due to more components being on the secondary side instead of the primary side) and better colour adjustment with a dedicated Contrast pot. Sadly the MS9-29 in its default configuration suffers from a slightly softer picture than the MS8-29 in 24Khz mode, however a modification has been identified to restore the sharpness of the MS8 to the MS9[2].
Even to this day the MS9-29 proves to be a fan favourite.
Chassis Specifications/Variations
Chassis:
Input Voltage: 100-120V 50/60Hz 1.7A (105W)
LOPT (Flyback): MSU1FHH09 97307T
B+ Voltage: 15kHz 76V DC (+/- 0.2VDC)/ 24kHz 119V DC (+/- 0.2VDC) (You must set the 15kHz voltage correctly first as the 24kHz is reliant on this).
Neck socket: B10-277
Variations:
MS9-29A
MS9-29T
MS9-29SU
MS9-29N22
CRT Tube Specifications
Across the many regions the MS9-29 was sold as well as multiple hardware variations, there were multiple tube choices:
| Model | Manufacture | Lh (mH) | Lv (mH) | Rh (Ω) | Rv (Ω) | Filament | G1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A68KJU96X | Toshiba | 0.325 | 15.617 | 0.6 | 8.1 | 6.3 | 50 |
| A68KSA30X | Hitachi | 6.3 | 50 | ||||
| M68JUA068X | Matsushita | 6.3 | 70 |
The above table shows known used CRT tubes and approx values (based on multiple readings from multiple MS9 tubes) for inductance and resistance of the yoke windings. Finally the end values are for a CRT tester like the B&K 467, 470, 480 etc to test the tube health.
A number followed by a letter between brackets on the label of Toshiba CRTs is the date of manufacture (4D = April 1994, 6H = August 1996, etc.) and is not part of the CRT designation.
In this example pictured 7E would be May 1997.
Standard Potentiometer Adjustments
On the MS9-29 there are multiple locations for adjustment pots, which are listed here:
Flyback:
- Focus
- Screen
Main Chassis area 1:
- R CUT OFF - Red Cut Off
- G CUT OFF - Green Cut Off
- B CUT OFF - Blue Cut Off
- SUB CONT - Sub Contrast
- ABL - Automatic Brightness Limiter
- H.H.24 - Horizontal Hold 24kHz
- H.H.15 - Horizontal Hold 15kHz
- PARA - Parallelogram
- SPC24 - Side Pincushion 24kHz
- H.S.LIN - Horizontal Linearity
- SPC15 - Side Pincushion 15kHz
- TRAP - Trapezoid
- V.LIN - Vertical Linearity
- V.S.Limit - Vertical Size Limit
Separate bank (by flyback):
- B+ 15 - B+ adjustment for 15kHz (do this adjustment before the 24kHz adjustment)
- B+ 24 - B+ adjustment for 24kHz
Remote Board:
- Contrast
- R-Gain
- R-Gain
- R-Gain
- Bright
- H.Size
- H.Posi
- V.Size

Capacitor and Potentiometer Replacement Information
Because of the hardware variations between the different MS9 revisions a generic capacitor list may not be suitable, currently the following accurate information is available:
