Anybody here know Pentranic Monitors?
« on: January 06, 2003, 09:16:06 pm »
Hey all......

Damn Mame sunk it's damn teeth in me, and now I'm hooked.

Well I need some help tracking down some technical info on two different models of Pentranic display monitors.  The first one is a 25" Pentranic A63PNT13X.  I picked this up in a working 4 player Gauntlet cab that was converted to Wrestlefest.

The second one......and I'm still grinning ear to ear about this, is a 38" Pentranic SVGA38 Trimedia that I picked up out of the local paper ( I'll never see something like this for sale here again ).  It displays 800 x 600 and has multiple video hook ups, composite/coaxial/VGA.  I had to buy this thing after taking my PC over there to test it out, and ended up playing Battlefield 1942 for an hour or so.  :D

I am basically looking for a list of specs, especially since there is next to nothing on the net.

Thanks.  Glad to be sucked into the ranks of the Mame scene!

I got it for $800 CND.

I'm kinda planning on finishing up the gauntlet/wrestlefest cab that has the 25" Pentranic in it, and selling it off so I can build a monster cab with the 38".

I'm currently using the 38" as a computer monitor.  I had to build a desk from scratch to hold the thing, I'm sure it's way over 200 lbs.  lol

Take a peek......the pictures don't give the best feel for how big this monster is:







That MS Joystick is about 10 1/2" Tall!!!!  Battlefield 1942 is jaw dropping on this thing......let alone playing DVDs at true DVD resolution at that size!
