Title: Wells Gardner K7400 25" Monitor
Post by: Kyle Davis on May 15, 2002, 10:33:33 am

I'm planning to build a cocktail table of my own design, and I'm considering using a Wells Gardner K7400 because it's available directly from Wells Gardner for $360, which isn't bad for a brand new 25" arcade monitor.

On their site, it says that it does not come with a power cord.  Does anyone know if it just uses a standard AC power cord like you see on a typical PC and many other home electronics?

Also, has anyone successfully used one of these monitors in their own project?  If so, I'd like to hear about your experiences/pitfalls with this monitor.

Thanks,
Kyle

You may have better luck with a U3100 or D9200.    This monitor is CGA-Res (15Khz Arcade), which means it can be tricky to setup.  The U3100 and D9200 support VGA/SVGA modes, and are easier to setup and wire, as well as safer when running Windows.

No, it does not use a computer power cord. The power cord is a standard commercial coin-op video game cord and Wells-Gardner sells it as an accessory.
