thanks for the info ken

Just to note, all three of those companies are in Miami, Florida.

8liners.com just recently jacked up their shipping charges.

Alva Amusement has the lowest prices.

ken can i use a regular videocard with the monitor if i use soft 15 or do you recommend i get a arcade vga

Ken Layton · « **Reply #5 on:** March 17, 2008, 05:15:09 pm »

Sorry can't help you there. My experience is with real arcade gameboards feeding the monitor a real arcade video signal.

not all monitor require an iso transformer,if it says you don't need one then don't bother

alienware32 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 18, 2008, 06:05:22 pm »

this is the chassis

grantspain · « **Reply #11 on:** March 18, 2008, 06:11:46 pm »

go for it bro,just make sure you have matched the yoke impedence and tube size otherwise you will get geometry issue's

My vohms-7 my h ohms 2 the tv tube is a sanyo 27 will this chassis fill the entire screen because on the site it say it for a 25 inch monitor

grantspain · « **Reply #13 on:** March 18, 2008, 06:42:52 pm »

it should be o.k,its close enough.
most far east chassis have enough adjustments to counter act any geometry/size issues as long as the specs are close

alienware32 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 18, 2008, 06:55:26 pm »

should i use a arcade vga or radeon 8500 with soft 15 and video amp

grantspain · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2008, 07:01:29 pm »

always start with the cheap option,try soft 15k with a standard graphics card.if you are not happy then upgrade to a avga
stuff like this is always trial and error

alienware32 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 18, 2008, 07:08:02 pm »

i try the radeon first but how do i connect it can i use ultimarc video amp to make it simple

grantspain · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2008, 07:23:12 pm »

i am not sure as i do not mess with mame stuff BUT a cga monitor wants a 1.5 to 4 volt signal whereas a vga will supplying 0.7 v so my view is that you will need a signal amplifier
you could always just try connecting direct to see if you get a good enough picture,it won't do any harm
