I'm working on my Asteroids Deluxe... while I'm waiting for the parts to come in, I'd like to test the monitor if I could. What are the potential issues with taking this monitor and testing it out with my working Space Duel? Is it a possibility?

I don't think so. I wouldn't do it.
There is only a couple of parts to change on on that thing if it does need work.

No, I also do not think this is advisable to try.

Chad,
I found a doc here that says you can, but you have to make some mods:

Unless I misunderstand, that is saying you can use a color monitor in a b/w game... I was wondering if you could use a b/w monitor in a color game. I suppose that gives me enough info to make the decision on whether or not to try it, though.
