I'm restoring a frogger sega/gremlin cab that was in pretty bad shape. The game turns on and will coin up and you can control it but the monitor is dead. I've just pulled the monitor out of there and am looking for a suggestion on a good monitor I can replace it with that will fit in that sega/gremlin cocktail. Is this a good option?

It's a little expensive and hope it would fit in my cab since it specifies for Bally. Also is this even possible to hook an old 1981 frogger board to a new monitor? Sorry I'm new at this but have a major passion for gaming and would like to learn how to restore them.
Also anyone with leads on replacement sega/gremlin parts would be helpful. Looking for new glass, coin slots and joystick control panels. Any help would be great!!

as to the glass
just go to loacal glass house and have them cut u a piece of double diamond glass
to size,round the edge's and ploish the edge's,pricey i know 50-100 dollar's
but well worth the effort.
the top marque just find it on the web and go to a printing house where they can :print to size:,on heavy white or black paper ..about 10.00 dollar's
joy stick part's/button's happ's control's
and or any other house of part's
we do have a wack of them here
as to the monitor :fried: is a tad small of a termwould u mind expanding it please

Good idea on the glass will consider having one cut.
Already replaced the art on top, found a great site with those (will repost the link to that later)
Happy to purchase 2 joystick control panels from you of they match the sega/gremlin cab if that is what you are saying
As for the monitor it simply won't turn on and I've had two 'experts' loom at it that told me it was dead. It was one of those old 100v monitors from 1981.
Still need to figure out the best monitor
