Pulling a Arcade Monitor for a MAME machine

[cmoses]

I maybe acquiring a arcade monitor from a arcade machine.  Based on what I have researched on this machine it is probably a Wells Gardner D9200 monitor.  Assuming that it is working, what would be needed to connect it to a MAME machine.  I think it might have a standard computer monitor cable.  Do you need a Arcade VGA card to run it?  Or can it be done with a regular card and some software?  Also will it have a standard power connection or will something special be needed? 

Any assitance will be appreciated.

Thanks

If it is indeed a D9200, all you have to do is plug it into your PC with a standard VGA cable and you're good to go. No special card or software required. As for power, it's supposed to come with it's own power cord.

I got it home tonight.  It is a Wells Gardner 9200.  Since it was in a cabinet it doesn't have the normal AC power cord with the white connector end.  They look pretty simple to make, so I will be doing that.

Also is it safe to boot up with this monitor, the boot screns won't screw it up will it?

Not supposed to.
This monitor is able to handle standard PC resolutions and refresh rates. At least, as far as I know.

Yeah that's what I thought.  I posted a topic in the Monitor/Video section, it has some pictures.  I think there is a cable that is broken, see topic for more information.
