Besides building my MAME machine, I am thinking about building a pub like Dartboard.

An example would be the Arachnid Galaxy.

Anyone know where you could get some parts or even how to hook up a dartboard to a monitor?  I did see an Arachnid Dartboard for $159 that had the ability to output to a monitor, but it didn't seem to have as many options as the Galaxy.

Thanks ahead of time  :P

I have an arachnid home board that I plan on taking an old 486 laptop to interface with and making pub board.

English Mark Darts coin op models have monitors in them already, and they can output to a TV as well.

I got mine at an arcade auction for $25. It was non-working when I got it, but I adjusted the power supply, and then it came right up.

Mine works, but it needs a new dartboard assembly, because some of the numbers don't score.

Anyway. Much cheaper to buy a coin op dart board than it is to build one from scratch.

Go to auctions, look around and keep your eyes open for bargains.  

I bought two of the Arachnid 6300 Super 6 II machines non-working for $50 each from a local operator who was selling off some of his stock.  Replaced some $.50 parts in each, and sold both for nearly $400 each.   :)

Even eBay has some deals occasionally.  I got an Arachnid Galaxy (dedicated, not conversions as the ones in the link in the first post are) for $250 on there because the seller left out the word "Arachnid" in the title and description.  It worked perfectly (besides needing a cap kit in the monitor, big deal), and it's the one I kept for myself.

Mine is a Super 6 II also. Where would I go about getting a new board, or whatever it is I need to replace so that all the numbers will score again.
