Title: Help with Paperboy Med Res Monitor
Post by: BALLS2THEWALL on August 30, 2007, 05:48:27 pm

I have Paperboy with no monitor.   :banghead: I have been searching everywhere for a 19 inch monitor to use.  The only one I can find is Wells-Gardner D9500. 
https://www.wellsgardner.com/products/details.asp?iCat=2&iSubCat=10

I have noticed that not many people have experienced this monitor in med res but i did read somewhere when using med res with this monitor that it might cause it to flicker.  I was told by someone that there might be a way to fix that but it would void any warrenty.  I also have been tring to get a hold of tech or customer service at Wells Gardner all day and now i know why people try to avoid dealing with these monitors.  I have invested too much time to just give up.  Please help :notworthy:.  Can u suggest a different monitor?  I havn't seen anyone talk about replacing a paperboy monitor with anything but a refurbished Wells-Gardner 19k7635.  Also does anyone know the exacted frequency for paperboy?  I think it is 24khz

Can anyone help?  There has to be someone who has experience with medium res arcades.

No help so far.  Seems no one has had any luck replacing a 19 inch medium resolution monitor.  There has to be an anwser somewhere. :timebomb:

Have you tried looking into the Billabs I mentioned to you in your other thread?

It's new, so you will probably have to call them to get more information.

Well i called them.  They said they  didnt know if this monitor would work with paperboy.  They said it should work.  And if it doesn't i have to pay for shipping and 15% stocking fee.  Seems like a big risk to take when they cant even tell me if its going to work or not.  I just dont see why if it doesnt work, its got to come out of my pocket.

I have seen scan converters that will do any combo of cga/ega/vga for around $100... you could get one of those and use either a 21" PC monitor (people practically give these away) or a regular cga arcade monitor.
