I've got another batch of these monitors available (Panasonic TXFBM019TB2 & TXFBM029TB2). I also have this posted on KLOV forum. Everyone has an equal chance to buy them. Shipping will be Priority Mail flat rate boxes. 1-2 can fit in the small box, more in the medium box, and up to 16 in the large box. That seems to work the best.
Ok, so here's the details.....I have about 80 available, maybe 90. These did not come with cables like I had hoped (I hate dealing with language barriers). They are CGA (analog RGB), so they are perfect for using as JAMMA test bench monitors, or even building little mini-arcade games. Maybe mount them in your headrests and have an autocade! ;D
The price is $35 each plus shipping and paypal fees.
Prices with the shipping and paypal included:
1 monitor = $41.71
2 monitors = $77.75
10 monitors = $372.05
To Canada: the total is $50.00 shipped for 1, $86.00 shipped for 2.
To the UK: the total is $51.50 shipped for 1, $88.00 shipped for 2.
These will be the last ones I get because it is too time consuming and frustrating dealing with sellers in Asia.
Enjoy!
Oh yeah, I'm really only going to go by the PMs I get. It's too hard to keep up with the thread "I wants".
Here's one of mine wired up.
-
can you repost the pic of your monitor wired up?
-
Any if you have dimensions for one also. Would this be easy to hook up to a computer and use for a DMD on a mini Virtitual pinball machine?
-
These things are GREAT! I got 2 from Raven last time he was selling these, awesome guy. I'm using one of them in the MiniBeast. I don't know the dimensions off hand, but I have a fairly accurate sketchup model in the MiniBeast thread. But I do know they are only 11/16" thick. Here's his new thread on KLOV (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=199450), it shows some pics. The other 2 threads relating to these monitors are linked in my MiniBeast thread.

These accept the RGB signals, you'd have get your computer to send it the right signal. I will be using a spare ArcadeVGA I have to run MAME on one of these. You could probably use one of these (http://www.arcadespareparts.com/arcade_parts/video_converter/vga_rgb_cga_video_converter/12215.html) to convert your video signal to RGB, cheaper than an AVGA.

Nice color coded pinout for the connectors mostly in English!:

Just a heads up for anyone interested, these are selling pretty fast tonight. The way it's going, they may sell out over the weekend.
-
Man, I'd buy one if I had something to wire them up to.

JAMMA harness and a switcher. I actually have 2 of mine wired to power from a PC power supply. They connect to the floppy drive power cable.

If it's the monitor connectors your worried about, I should be getting about 20 of each the signal connector and power connector with pins by Wednesday...
-
The wiring is one thing, but I was actually thinking I don't have any mini-projects in mind! Thanks anyway! :cheers:
-
At someone's request, I tested one of these out in the sun, and it looked pretty good. I didn't adjust the brightness, just how it was straight out of the box. Not sure if that's useful knowledge, but there it is.
By the way, another cool idea would be making a mini-PinMAME! Use one for the backglass in 4:3 mode, and the other as the table in widescreen. If I had any woodworking skills, I'd give it a shot myself. Who knows, maybe you might see one up on eBay one day............ ;D
-
Are you going to be PMing tracking numbers? When are these planned to ship? Thanks.
-
Yours shipped out on the 6th, so you should get it any time now. I sent them all priority mail flat rate, which used to have tracking numbers, but apparently no longer does
Also, these should be the correct connectors for the power and video.

I know the circuit diagram is for the pinouts but what is the rest of the circuit for?
The 7805 is to provide 5V power to the LM 1881 but what is the LM 1881 required for?
-
That schematic is believed to be for a harness or adapter that was made for these monitors. None if it is actually required to get these monitors working. The most important part of it, as you said, is the pinout of the connectors on the right side.
This thread (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=203790) is probably the closest thing to an english technical manual that we'll get.
