Defender (Williams) monitor replacement question...

[RetroACTIVE]

I've begun my journey to reconstruct/resurrect a defender cabinet...

I'm starting with a working board set... now I am searching for the correct monitor for the system... I prefer a brand new monitor so...

the question I have is this... Are the standard 19" CGA monitors that Happ and WG offer a 1-1 replacement of the original Williams system?  I've searched the boards and have not yet found that specific answer... The reason I ask is because I noticed on the MAME(tm) information screen for defender, it says the resolution is 292x240...  If this is correct and the new CGA monitors have a horizontal res of 200 wouldn't there be an issue? 

Pls forgive my monitor ignorance... and thank you for your help.

Defender originally shipped with CGA (standard) resolution monitors. Defender generates a positive sync signal.

The game originally came with either a Wells-Gardner k4600 series monitor or an Electrohome G07 monitor.

The Kortek 19" monitor on sale at www.penn-ray.com for $155 will work fine and be plug 'n play.

That's exactly the information I was looking for.

Thanks Ken

Will do!  155 bucks!  Thats nothing compared to what I paid for my 27" Betson->Kortek.

They have that very same 27" Kortek/Betson/Imperial on sale at $425 too.
