Title: Hantarex chassis, change connectors to other style?
Post by: AE35 on July 26, 2012, 12:07:18 pm

Hi guys!

Well, I'm about to try fixing a Hanty chassis, but there's always the problem with
the connectors not being the 'standard' found on most others.

So, I'm thinking. What would be wrong about changing the green connectors to
standard molex connectors, like the ones found on pinball boards? They seem to have
the same spacing and all.

It seems that would be cheaper and easier than finding and ordering the original green
ones...

Thanks!

There is no standard for monitor connectors, it's all relative. If anything, the green connector (AMP modu I, very easy to find) could be considered a 'standard' as it's found on practically all Italian monitors (Hantarex, Intervideo, Selti, Sogema, etc.). Of course you can change it if you so wish.

Yes, definitely change them to the standard Molex KK series like other USA standard arcade monitors have.
