Title: Anybody here know Pentranic Monitors?
Post by: Firebaall on January 06, 2003, 09:16:06 pm

Hey all......

Damn Mame sunk it's damn teeth in me, and now I'm hooked.

Well I need some help tracking down some technical info on two different models of Pentranic display monitors.  The first one is a 25" Pentranic A63PNT13X.  I picked this up in a working 4 player Gauntlet cab that was converted to Wrestlefest.

The second one......and I'm still grinning ear to ear about this, is a 38" Pentranic SVGA38 Trimedia that I picked up out of the local paper ( I'll never see something like this for sale here again ).  It displays 800 x 600 and has multiple video hook ups, composite/coaxial/VGA.  I had to buy this thing after taking my PC over there to test it out, and ended up playing Battlefield 1942 for an hour or so.  :D

I am basically looking for a list of specs, especially since there is next to nothing on the net.

Thanks.  Glad to be sucked into the ranks of the Mame scene!

How much did that 38" (!!??!!) monitor set you back?

I got it for $800 CND.

I'm kinda planning on finishing up the gauntlet/wrestlefest cab that has the 25" Pentranic in it, and selling it off so I can build a monster cab with the 38".

I'm currently using the 38" as a computer monitor.  I had to build a desk from scratch to hold the thing, I'm sure it's way over 200 lbs.  lol

Take a peek......the pictures don't give the best feel for how big this monster is:

That MS Joystick is about 10 1/2" Tall!!!!  Battlefield 1942 is jaw dropping on this thing......let alone playing DVDs at true DVD resolution at that size!
