Replace Space Invader's monitor
« on: September 16, 2005, 07:01:43 pm »
If I bought a Space Invaders cab sans monitor - how expensive would it be to get a replacement, and how difficult would it be to install it?  I've got a mame cab with a regular TV and haven't messed with the real arcade monitor stuff.  What's the difficulty on a scale of 1-10?

Black and white monitors are pretty darn easy.

I can't vouch for monitors that go in Space Invaders, but I've got a Sega Space Attack that doesn't have a frame.  Everything is mounted to the sides of the cabinet.

If it's in a frame, it should pretty much be drop, plug and play.
