Identify this piece of **it

[Harry Potter]

One fine afternoon, just before I went to work, I decided to finally sick a fluro bulb behind the marqee. I had to take the monitor out and for the first time, I found something resembling a model number. It follows thus: P20GH01

Anyone know what this tired old ---smurfette--- might be?

Thanks

PS: The marquee looks really bad back lit. Need a new marquee.

you would have far better luck identifying with a picture rather than an incredibly vague description.

[Harry Potter]

I'd rather not try taking it out again. I think I can live with this mystery.

[JoeB]

what kind of machine do you have that you need to take the monitor out to replace a bulb in the marquee area!?!??

[menace]

maybe its one of those playchoice ten machines by (nintendo?) they have the over under screens.  that kind of info would solve the mystery faster than anything.

I've never seen a commercial arcade game cabinet that you would need to remove the monitor just to change a light bulb. Must be some phony homemade thing then.

[Harry Potter]

It wasn't to change the bulb but to actually fit it properly but it was mainly taken out because I was fastening the speakers on properly. I did a piss poor job the first time.

Anyway, it's on of these:


The model sticker is not visible at all if the monitor is in the cab.

I'd bet on it.  Look at all the buttons it has.

[Harry Potter]

Please,

All I asked was if someone could identify my monitor.

If this is going to degenerate into a cab bashing, then please, all those bashing can go phuck themselves.

Thanks.

No more said.

You gotta tone down!

There was no bashing at all.. a statement was made that it's probably a home made arcade machine, and it was confirmed with your picture.

It can be ANYTHING in there.

It could be a monitor, a TV or even a PC monitor (in the last 2 cases, the plasic cover was removed to make it fit!)

There's very little we can tell you.  Your only alternative it to pull the monitor, and write down any sticker information you see on the tube and on the chasis.

I got a question for you.  Why do you care what this monitor is? The only reason one would ask is in order to either modify it or tune it.  In either case, you'll need to remove the monitor.

[Gideon]

Funny.  Even though it's obvious that nobody "bashed" anything, I still feel compelled to point out that you asked for help identifying a "piece of **it."  Why do you call it a "piece of **it" if you are so easily offended?

I apologize for digressing.  Carry on, enlightened.

[Ken Layton]

All monitors look the same from the front.

 In order to identify it pictures of the rear of it clearly showing the monitor circuit board are needed as well as any and all markings from any labels present.

[Harry Potter]

Must be some phony homemade thing then.

I'd bet on it.  Look at all the buttons it has.

What's this then?

Maybe I'm paranoid and if I am, I blame this working week. Otherwise sorry boys.
Let's get back to dicussing real problems.

[SirPeale]

Don't take it personally.  Remember, the Internet conveys no emotion in a post whatsoever.  When Ken says 'fake' he's not being mean, he's just saying it's not a converted model.

Same thing with the button comment.  99.9% of games have four or fewer buttons (per player).  So with your cabinet that has eight buttons per player, it's obviously nothing standard!

Ken's right on the money, we'll need to see pictures of the back of the monitor before being able to determine what kind of monitor it is.

[Harry Potter]

I'll be taking out again in about a month or so. I'll get some pics then.

Until then.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
