www.therealbobroberts.com  look up the test rig section.

For the RGB converter, I think gatorcade.com sells them.

If you have an arcade monitor, you can just use that instead.

Your right about that their are some good ones on ebay! but theirare still people like me out their that would like to learn how to do things themselves, if for nothing else but for the experience. I think most people in here know what i'm talking about.

I only paid $75.00 + shipping for the converter. This was over a year ago though. Good luck!!!

Here is an Idiots Guide to Supergun page.   Looks like it does not have video info yet but jrok's converter takes care of that using a TV.
