Hello everyone,
this is my first post so let me first introduce myself:
My name is André and I'm from Dortmund, Germany. I like to play Arcade in the 80's with Games like Galaga, Crazy Kong, Amidar and so on. But my favorite game is Phoenix.
Last year a dream became true and I got an Konami Quadro Games. I added MAME and got some PCBs (Phoenix of course ;-) ).
Last week the monitor, a Hantarex MTC9000 25" broken down, no picture and the chassis fan slows down. Now I'm looking for a multisync monitor like Hantarex Polostar. But I read about the problems with the adjustments after very resolution change so I thing this ain't the right thing for me.
Does anybody got an suggestion for an 25" arcademonitor purchaseble in Germany? It don't need to be a mutltisync but it must be 25" cause it has to fit the turning mechanism.

hey andre welcome aboard,
you should contact suzo and see what options on multisync monitors they have,remember whatever happ can get then suzo can get the same otherwise you may have to look at pentranic monitors

Thanks for the Tip!
I did not know pentranic. I contacted suzo in Germany but they told me they only sell Elo monitors (I was looking for a Markvision).
Now I contact Pentranic and waiting for their answer...

Hey André(from Germany), it's André (from Holland) here :D
Why go the hard and expensive way ?? Buy A (2nd hand) TV and use the SCART connector :D
25" should be about 64 cm TV.

Hi André from Holland (nice Country!),
thanks for your suggestion but I like the original arcade feeling and for this I need a arcade monitor.
Since my Hantarex broken down I was looking for a multisync cause of the vantages using it with mame. But its hard to find a multisync in 25" but this is what I need becaus it has to fit the turnig mechanism of my cab as I said.
For the time beeing I'am looking for some one who can repair my monitor. But it would be nice to get the impossible ;)
Greets, André

Hi André, (Germany is great too, we come there pretty often, especially Cologne. And I love the Autobahn ;) )
I understand. Of course you can't get the mid-res with a TV-set, but otherwise, the "feeling" of a TV is exactly the same as an "arcade" monitor. When you use the RGB inputs of the SCART connector, the TV acts as a monitor, completely bypassing any quality degrading things like TV tuners or decoders. The picture is exactly the same.
An arcade monitor is nothing more than a TV without a tuner.... :)
But if you really need mid-res, it will be tough to find one....
