Midway Arcade Cabinet by Big Electronic Games
Ken Layton:
I see the Midway circuit board is inside a box. Has anyone opened that box to check out the circuit board? I wonder if a person could hack it for R-G-B-sync output to run to a normal arcade monitor?

Ken,
I've wondered about this myself, I would think it could be done. They are supposed to sell parts for this machine and I have heard some went out without the cartridge - and they had to send one out to the customer.
Is anyone here good at reverse engineering things like this and be willing to do it if we happened upon a spare cartridge?

Ken Layton:
The only "support" I see on Big Electronic Games (www.mybiggames.com) is downloadable cabinet assembly instruction sheets and a poor excuse for a troubleshooting sheet.
I wish they'd have wiring schematics for the cabinet & control panel. Even better would be schematics to the gameboard.

I'm pretty sure that Clay himself stated somewhere that it's not hackable to get RGB.....

Just wanted people to know that the Midway Arcade cabinets are now on clearance at JCPenney. I purchased one for $129.99 on 1/28/07 at the JCPenney store in Glendale, CA. The price was after the clearance price was discounted and then another 50% was discounted off the clearance price. I think I got a good deal and it works great.
