Other Japanese candy cabs (Canary, Madonna, Pony, City…)¶
The candy-cab catalogue is huge. This page lists the lesser-known models or those not detailed elsewhere (Taito Canary, Irem Madonna, Pony, the first Sega City, the big Megalo/Teatro…), with maker, year and monitor type. Repair is always the same family of steps → CRT monitor + candy PSU.

Monitor notes¶
Most of these fit Nanao / Sanwa / Toei chassis at 15/24 kHz (or tri-sync on the later ones). To identify and repair, see the equivalence table:
- Other chassis & equivalents (Toei, Neotec, Rodotron, Wei-Ya…) · Nanao MS8/MS9/MS29xx · Sanwa · CRT safety.
⚡ Generalities¶
- JAMMA (80s-90s CRT cabs) → JAMMA wiring; JVS on later candy cabs → JVS wiring.
- 100 V AC candy brick (Japan) → candy PSU + a step-down transformer on 230 V.
Repair & maintenance
Modernise (video, PSU, JVS, upscaler, PC/FPGA) → Modernising a cabinet. CRT monitor (discharge HV!) → CRT safety · chassis → equivalence table · recap → Recap · power → candy PSU · diagnosis → PCB fault-finding.

Review & corrections
How this space is used
Spotted a wrong value, an outdated procedure, a chip reference that does not match your board? Say so here, with what you observed (model, board revision, serial number, measurement). Every report is cross-checked against a source before anything changes — an unverifiable correction is published as “reported by …, not cross-checked” rather than silently applied.
Reading is open to everyone; posting requires signing in with Discord. Reports from the wiki's declared reviewers are handled first; anyone else's are read too, but go through a human before anything is changed.
