JAMMA RGB to PC Monitor?

Looking a solution to use my jamma boards with a pc monitor.  Right now i have a external tuner box for my monitor that accepts composite and s-video inputs.  Was wondering if there is a RGB to PC Monitor box... OR a RGB to maybe a NTSC composite or s-video...  Yes there will be ALOT of degrading... Opinions welcome

You can try connecting the PC monitor, with the same wiring as the inverse of "PC to Arcade Monitor" interface.    If the monitor supports 15Khz, it will work.   Also, you may want to try an Old CGA or EGA monitor.   I beleive CGA is 15Khz, and EGA is 24Khz.

Also, if you get a componet to NTSC convertor from a video supply store, that may work.  

P.S. some arcade games can output NTSC.  If that is the case, you have got it made.
