| What can I do with a black light? - Counterfeit money checker! |
| (1/1) |
| RayB:
I was rumaging through junk in the basement last weekend and found a small counterfeit money checker (you know like you see at convenience stores, etc?). It's basically a small florescent black light. The entire unit is no bigger than 8-10 inches long (that's what she said). Any ideas? My cabinet is white, black and blue/purple scheme. Might be fitting to have black-lit art in there... Although, I held it up inside my MAME cabinet, above the screen, and it looks like the UV light illuminates the phosphors on the monitor. |

Ditch that idea and get some black cold cathodes and make your cab like the inside of Discs of Tron. Then you can wear a white striped T shirt and look like one of those Game Programs. ;D |

What about games with black lights inside the cab? I know Asteroids Deluxe has it, but that is also a bottom mounted monitor that is viewed off of a mirror. I wonder if that may be why it's bottom mounted (along with the overlay being reflected in the mirror). |
| RayB:
Could be why. Also, the monitor was not powered on. Maybe the effect is different when the monitor is powered (ie: not noticable). |
