I have a Namco Ninja Assault arcade machine (produced in 2000) that I want to convert to a mame machine. The monitor is a Toshiba brand with a VGA style connector for the video input. Does anybody know if this monitor is a 15 Khz or 25 Khz, ect monitor. Attatched is a blurry pic of the monitor tag. Pro or cons ussing this monitor?

tube numbers aren't much help in IDing... (A68_______)

Q: You said you would help me identify my monitor, so identify already...
A: Ah the impatience of youth...
The best thing to do first is look for a tag or sticker that explicitly says what model you have. Please note that only manufacturer's and a few gifted arcade guys can identify using serial numbers --please find model numbers (it will say model:_____). Failing that, look for identifying marks on the boards themselves (chassis and neckboard) Sometimes there are numbers, sometimes there are letters that can help identify what it is you have.
Last bet, take as good a top down picture as you can--this may require you to discharge the monitor and remove it from the machine but since it's likely not working anyways you will be doing this regardless (more on this later)
Armed with your picture, visit:
www.jomac.net.au/mon.htm (http://www.jomac.net.au/mon.htm) OR
Bob Roberts-big bear bulletin board and see "whats my monitor" about halfway down the page. Bob's site is excellent for newbies and experience people alike for finding new information and ordering parts --especially cap kits (more on this) It may take awhile but you should be able to match yours with one there. If you don't, post it here and someone hopefully can help you. Your picture should be below 250KB in size and have a resolution of 640x480 (everyone hates uber-large pictures). You can also email bob and ask if he can help you although the last thing I want is someone to fire off pictures to him without even trying to identify it or without asking him!
if i had to hanker a guess... maybe EZIO Nanao?
