I did a lot of testing today. Different monitors (LCD and CRT), different PSUs, powered from within the cab and externally... looks like the 10" CRT, which at the moment needs to be powered up after the power to the Jamma board, is effecting the voltage to the 48-in-1. When the monitor is plugged in, the sound garbles. I need to find a way of regulating the power internally to the cab :banghead:

Four monitors - each seems to work differently :badmood: One picks up the signal when first powered up, so I'll go with that one to start with.

After searching for delay timers here's what I've come up with:

A dial-in timer allows for changing the power delay and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. £5 in comparison to £40 plus for a rack-mount component. Now to see if it works...

These worked great. Once. Then there was an almighty burning smell... on both of them. :banghead: Next cab will have a PC and LCD installed :angry:

So I'm on the lookout for a decent power delay timer (that'll fit in the cab ;), that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. One monitor works fine, so I only need one that can delay for a second or so.
