I recently purchased an Outrunners cabinet in terrible shape for 25 bucks. From this I received 2 working arcade monitors.
Anyway, on to my question
I was just wondering if it is possible to harm an arcade monitor if I make a cable that will convert VGA into an RGB signal.
Thanks in Advance,

you can make a vga to monitor plug but if you feed it the wrong signal you will get 2 pics on screen,there is a debate whether vga signal can kill a 15khz arcade monitor-so if you want to run a pc onto the arcade monitor first find the model number and its spec then if its 15khz you will need either an arcade vga card

or a vga card that can support custom settings with the correct software to run it.
