Revenge From Mars Screen Help
« on: August 30, 2007, 06:53:58 pm »
I am hoping someone out there can tell me if this monitor (link below) would be compatible with the Revenge From Mars P2000 game.

This is a link to a video repair site for the game...

I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give on this. Playing the machine without a screen has just taken the fun out of it.  :-\

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Heh,  I've got a RFM,  cool game, eh?   Yeah, not much fun without the monitor.


The problem with a shelf mount is that it probably isn't going to physically fit.   You would also have to hack the video cable, but that's not a big deal.

Do you have a non-working monitor now?  Might not be a big deal to get it fixed.

I do have a busted monitor now and it looks like the tubes busted from the looks of the black areas on the screen.
With a little help from a friend we should be able to take care of the video cable.  You just don't think it will fit, eh? 
Any other suggestions?

You can get a new tube if it's truly broken.  Can you explain further?

What monitor do you have, the WG or the Ducksan?

The monitor itself is a nothing special standard res 19",  so:

You *might* be able to take a run-of-the-mill 19" and swap the tube and chassis (board) over into the original monitor frame.   Would probably take a little hackery to mount a different chassis/board to that frame. I've never tried this, but I don't see why it won't work.  

When the Wells went out in ours, I fixed it instead of trying to replace it.      

Might be worth asking over on the rec.games.pinball newsgroup.  I'm sure it's been tried/done by somebody.

I am freaking jealous.  I would love to just check out the guts of a Pinball 2000, I am seriously impressed by that design.  There's a guy around here that has one, if he ever decides to sell it I'll need to find a way to grab it.
