I was wondering about monitors. Should I buy something used or new. Some ebays my say the famous line.......It worked perfectly when I habd it............. But not only that how would I know what I am buying.......
ie 8liners, Eyo, Neotec, Wells Gardner, Sharp.............. What is what? What monitor is above the rest and which one is below.
???

Thx. I am clueless on the wiring.......... :-[
But at the same time I want to be self-suffient! :o
I am not in this to make money but for the thrill of the entertainment. ;D

Thx.

yeah, that is what I am worried about.............buying a monitor from someone on ebay and it is broken. I have heard it both ways. :o
;D i bought a dynamo cab (ikari) and was told the monitor size is 25" but I am interested in the Betson 27in. Anyone know how to tell if the 27in will work? will it effect having a bezel? ::)

I bought a new 19" Happ Vision Pro II on sale at $160. I figured with all the games I'd be playing, I might as well have a nice new crisp picture and not have to worry about parts failing on me. (Added bonus: Doesn't require an isolation transformer)

If you can go with a new one it is well worth the extra cost.

If your gonna go authentic picture....I recommend a arcadevga ( ultimarc.com ) and the happs CGA monitor ( arcadeshop.com ) get stuff new and save yourself the hours of troubleshooting unless you like the challenge and the possible side effect of death from playing with big red wires ( j/k )
Cheers,
Tim

The monitor that came with my MK3 cab had a totally fried board. I replaced it with an 8liners chassis and have been very pleased. 6 months of use and it still looks great. Installation could not have been easier either. Just a few screws, 4 wires, 4 terminals, no soldering, perfect picture. The whole swap took less than an hour.

for the price of the Happ 27inch. $471.38 do you think I might as well go with a Neotech or a Wellgardner monitor?
