Where can you buy a color vector monitor?

I can't seem to find any.

Thanks

Does not surprise me..... rare AND spendy.

Brand new ones have not been manufactured in 20 years. Used ones show up on ebay, but be prepared to get out the wallet!

The last one I saw was wg6100 series with burn-in that went for over $500

Dang I might as well buy a Star Wars other fully functioning cab that has one in there. Man once I get a hold of one, I might just have to see if I can get a factory in China to reverse engineer the electronics and start a new business.

Was this one that you might just need repaired?
Or are you missing one and wanted to buy one?
Are you looking at buying a Stars Wars cab without one?

May be this info will get you somewhere also.
Because if it's just repairs......that might be possible.

Well I would love a dedicated Star Wars, but what I was wanting is to do a VectorMame machine. That would be soooooo cool.

This might be way off base an dof no help...... but google around for vector emulators.
I know I've seen something about them, but don't know much about it.

I wouldn't even attempt to mess with a true color vector monitor for that.
TOTALLY different signal inputs from what you are talking about.

I too would love to do a vector mame on an old vector color monitor. As Kevin said, the signal input is totally different, and most x/y monitors are not compatible with each other. They have different specs and run at different speeds. It's a little spendy, but probably worth it, but i think you could solve those problems by using a Zektor Vector Generator. I'm still saving up for one (and a color vector monitor, hehe). It was designed for use with mame and displaying true vector graphics on original vector monitors. They even have a pic of it running a vector arcade board on those old Vectrex home gaming systems. It's a tiny screen, but a lot cheaper than your standard vector arcade monitor. I think their webiste is zektor.com.  The card was also mentioned in the Project Arcade book too.
