Title: Austin TX arcade monitor Diag/Repair?
Post by: jec993 on March 23, 2004, 10:44:47 am

My cabinet is almost complete and I was planning on putting in a 19" PC monitor in it.
But I just got what I think is a 25" Wells-Gardner U5000 for free.
Since I don't know the monitors history, I'd like to get it checked out to make sure it's in as good working order as it can be.
Would anybody here happen to know of a good place in Austin, TX where I could take it to have it looked at?

Thanks,

The monitor just didn't seem bright and the colors were off.
I wound up taking it to http://www.totalamusement.com/
They were extremely helpful and even diagnosed and fixed it during my lunch hour, which was great. I thought there would have been a couple day turn around time.

Now if my ArcadeVGA would just show up I'd be ready to finish. That and I still need to figure out how to make a marquee  ::)
