| LordDamo:
Morning all. The postie has just delivered aan ebay purchase I made only two days a go, lightning fast from Brisbane. It was a bulk lot in the arcade section of Australian ebay. It was advertised as having 2 MCA joys (which is why I bid on it), a jamma harnes, 8 buttons and a 38cm tv. The harness is stilled wirred up with the PWR supply (looks almost new, stated as only a few mths old) im going to dissconnect the sticks as they are all I want - im going to relist the rest, including the buttons. Now my question is what kind of TV is it? I thought I was buying a regular TV - but after arival I think it might be a arcade monitor. Ive included a few pics below. Sorry they are a bit blurry - the only camera I have at the moment is the one on my cell phone. The pic of the plug has a corresponding plug on the harness. I was going to use this TV for a Namco 5-in-1 hack I was going to do this weekend - but if this is really a arcade monitor, I cant do this can I? correct me if im wrong. Is there anyway I can hack the cable for a RCA imput? Do I need the harness to power it up? Any an all rellevent coments welcomed. Thanks in advance |

Thought so, thanks for your replys. DARN! got to find another TV now. What are my options with the monitor? Is there anyway I can interface it with a RCA or Svideo plug to use it as a TV? it came with the transformer and all required parts - just wondering if I can use it or am I wasting my time? I may even keep it incase I want to build a dedicated Jamma cab one day I guess . . . |
