Title: LCD Slot Machine Toppers - How can I use them?
Post by: MTPPC on December 02, 2016, 04:29:29 pm
I've got 20 of these NIB slot machine toppers. I'm thinking about selling them, but I'd rather make them into something. it looks like they are 17" diagonal LCD panels. Suggestions?

I plugged in a 12VDC power adapter and it came to life. The monitor said "check cable" and the chase lights started up. Hooked up a 60-in-1 board and Voila!

If that has a digital tuner in it, I'd be all over it...

actually, it does. (albeit a european style "Belling-Lee" connector instead of the typical "F" Type connector)

an adaptor is readily available to convert them.
