I've begun my journey to reconstruct/resurrect a defender cabinet...
I'm starting with a working board set... now I am searching for the correct monitor for the system... I prefer a brand new monitor so...
the question I have is this... Are the standard 19" CGA monitors that Happ and WG offer a 1-1 replacement of the original Williams system? I've searched the boards and have not yet found that specific answer... The reason I ask is because I noticed on the MAME(tm) information screen for defender, it says the resolution is 292x240... If this is correct and the new CGA monitors have a horizontal res of 200 wouldn't there be an issue?
Pls forgive my monitor ignorance... and thank you for your help.

Defender originally shipped with CGA (standard) resolution monitors. Defender generates a positive sync signal.
The game originally came with either a Wells-Gardner k4600 series monitor or an Electrohome G07 monitor.
The Kortek 19" monitor on sale at www.penn-ray.com for $155 will work fine and be plug 'n play.

That's exactly the information I was looking for.
Thanks Ken

Download the sales flyer # PR07 at Penn-Ray. It has all the monitors on sale listed in there. It's best to telephone them if you need questions answered right away or want to check stock/availability.

Will do! 155 bucks! Thats nothing compared to what I paid for my 27" Betson->Kortek.
