Arcade Collecting > Merit/JVL Touchscreen
want can i do wht a half empty megatouch cabinet?
lilshawn:
I'mma have to do some looking around to find some more documentation. This monitor is many years old now, it's a little hard to come by as evidenced by the photocopy scan of the schematic i linked. after merits acquisition by Rowe/AMI things are a little disorganized.
EDIT:
you know, this monitor is simply a 19" monitor with a touch overlay on it. if you could source an old CRT 19" VGA computer monitor and remove it's case, the tube and everything would drop right in. all you'd have to do is remove the overlay and use some new double sided foam tape to stick it back on. NOTE: Never pry or pull on the touchscreen or pry on it with a screwdriver, It's very easy to crack the overlay...just remove the tape around the outside and use a length of dental floss to cut through the old foam tape.
the advantage to swapping the monitor is then you don't have to worry about doing any signal conversion or hokey cables.
just a thought. I'm still looking for more info regarding the resolution capabilities of this monitor.

this monitor may also be a type 66. :-\ apparently merit used a mish mash of parts and names for things.
it could also be a type 58 cause some 58 where labeled as type 66 :dizzy:

Is there anything I can do to help with the search, better pictures of the chassis maybe?
I do have a jamma rig set up for testing boards with a cga to vga adapter, would it hurt if i wired the monitor to the jamma harness and see what happened? I don't want to blow anything up.
Also I just want to thank everyone for all the help, I would be lost if not for the help.

you could feed it a CGA (15k) signal first and see. bump it up to EGA (25k) then VGA (31k) be warned, feeding higher res into a monitor not designed for it can kill it.
