Title: setting up an arcade monitor for mame.
Post by: esaelectrionics on July 05, 2007, 05:49:40 am

ive got a pretty old mini-cabinet and my arcade monitor looks like its made by JVC in 1985. 20",its an old tv from the looks of it :) it had moon cresta installed in the box.
The picture's pretty good but this is my first project and i am still having teething troubles!.

I cant find the v.size pot or centering, all it seems to have is one marked `screen` and ` focus ` and three pots on the neck board, i guess these are  the r-g-b gun pots?. some of the picture is cut off on the top and bottom.

i am using an arcade vga card and j-pac in my pc, also at certain resolutions in mame games the screen just rolls, maybe too high for the monitor?.

anyone any idea what model it is?

anyway ive sussed out how to adjust everything allright,
i coulnt see before because of the lighting but on the board all
the pots are marked in small writing, listing.
v-pos
h-pos
v-hold
h-hold
bright
contrast
etc.

its all good, the only 3 i dont know are the one's on the tube neckboard
