Atari Gauntlet Replacement monitor
« on: September 30, 2008, 07:35:11 am »
Hi

Can someone point me in the right direction for a suitabe replacement monitor for the above? According to wikipedia the monitor was raster at 336 x 240 resolution. I can't (or don't know) seem to find a suitable one... I am probably being stoopid ;)

Cheers

I'm pretty sure that one used a "standard" resolution monitor. (The only other type it MIGHT have used would be "Medium" resolution). So once you confirm which one of those two it needs, there are many options out there. Just remember it's 19"

Hi Ray

I had seen your reply on another forum in much the same vain. I don't now how to 'know' what I need. The only thing I have is the wiki, and I just simply don't understand.

As it happens, I won the machine http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=84818.0 - so do I need more advoce or should I post what I intend to buy?

thanks all and Ray :)

Cheers

Checking KLOV and the original manuals is always good:

Says Standard. That means any 19" Standard resolution CRT arcade monitor will work as a replacement.

Brand new ones will run you about $150-$200 plus shipping. You can also cross your fingers and hope a local can sell you a used one for cheap.

Where are you located?
I've got a few 19's around if you are local.

I'm offshore UK, so doubt I'm local :) Thanks for the offer though.

I am still none the wiser. I have found some monitors online that I assume are correct but realistically I need a UK supplier.

Where do the people in the UK get theirs from? My searches are drawing a blank (although I have emailed Pentranic to see if they sell them but I have a feeling that from someone elses project here they are very expensive. )

Cheers

Yeah, it could be a bit of a drive  :)
Have you considered repairing the monitor chassis?
