get on it, new fancy job winner.

Ok folks my step dad has a 37inch jvc crt... early 2000's/late 90's  (when they started making the tube flat).  It's got component in.  I could use the upscaling on these boards to get that up to 480p to avoid issues and use some component cables.  With proper attenuation I could also run arcade pcbs through the tv with this correct?  I swore I wouldn't fool with crts ever again, but now that I've got the room and my back isn't in constant agony.....

You should be able to use this for arcade boards to CRTs, yes. 

I'm using a stock GBS8200 to go from Med Res to VGA on my SF Rush the Rock cabinet (for now).  Since I won't need that board anymore once I convert it to a multi-racer, I'm probably going to make one of these. 

Looks like it does amazing up/downscaling to 240p with very, very low lag. 

Good, cheap option for PC -> CRT without having to RGB mod...

Howard_Casto:
Well an rgb mod is probably in the future... maybe not for this tv though.  I bought a gbs in the past and had to send it back as I just couldn't get a stable image on any hd tv.  I had heard of the gbs control in the past but that was in it's early stages with a mess of hardware boards and fudging... this seems streamlined now.  I think I'm going to start ordering parts later today.  I don't really have the time to mess with this stuff anymore but this looks like something I can do in a half hour or so.

If you don't hate flat screen CRTs, RGB modding any Trinitron with the BA-5D Chassis like THE KV-fS100, Fv300, fv-310 series is laughably easy.  Like a 35 min job.  And those tv's are pretty easy to find as CRTs go.
