Of course, you have the whole creating a new kick---I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- PowerMAME to do first! :) Beggers can't be choosers! Thanks a lot man. This will kick ass if you do indeed get it working. |

Guys, I think I may legally be a moron. Sooo...got my fancy new WG 6101 the other day. I hooked it up to the good old ZVG and....NOTHING. I couldn't get a pulse from the monitor to save my life. I finally spoke with the guy whom I bought it from, and he asked "did you plug it in?" I was like, "yes, of course I plugged it into the ZVG!" He's like, "ok, but did you plug it into a 110V power source?" So, I don't know why I thought the ZVG would actually power the monitor (maybe, because it plugs into the transformer). Anyway, I ended up splicing a computer power cable into the transformer and just like magic, my new monitor works! Do I feel like a dumbass or what? |

You were lucky to get the power brick with the monitor; I think those things are even harder to find than the monitors. |

I was just reminded this morning why I love this hobby so much. I am a realtor and was at an inspection for my client. In the basement of this house, the seller had a gameroom with a very nice Asteroids Deluxe and a Stargate. The old arcade games are just such works of art. Really amazing after all these years. |

BTW, what do people do if they can't find a power brick for their Vector monitors? Are there any substitutions that work? |
