These things were run hard, for long periods of time. Most arcades I've been to in the past 20 years had at the very least, one or two older games with this type of monitor which still worked. It wasn't very long ago that these tubes were plentiful and every TV shop on the corner could come down to swap the tube. Panasonic TVs seemed to use them a lot in the 1980-1984 time frame.

And those RCA tubes were the absolute WORST for arcade games.. 10 minutes in attract mode and the tube's marked for life!
