I finally plugged it in and turned it on
« on: September 01, 2009, 09:26:09 pm »
And holy crap everything worked on my Golden tee Fore setup.  Picked it up for a total of $125, the guy threw in the monitor, said it was a little blurry.  The monitor, U5000, is a little blurry, I don't think it is anything horrible, you can still make out everything on screen without a problem.  If I did a cap kit, would that make the picture clearer, or could this be basically anything and I should just mind my business?  I'm pretty psyched that it worked though.  Now I just have to work on the cab.

Well that worked awesome.  Thanks for the tip.  guess I have a lot to learn here.  at least for now I don't have to troubleshoot the U5000.  Thanks again.
