Questions on Targ Arcade Monitor/ any diagnostics out there?

[parpunk]

Hello, its me again. as im sure some of you have seen ....ive tried to sell a TARG arcade machine for about 5 years now lol. long story short bought it 5 years ago, the guy claimed it worked perfect, but me being a dumb 19 year old kid just bought it without testing it, and anyways its been sitting being ignored in my parents basement ever since,  and im just sick of it sitting there. i was seriousely about ready to take it to the dump because i couldnt even sell it for 75 bucks locally!!

So anyways i might try and take this machine thats been pestering me for so long and turn it into something good, possibly a mame. But before i kill this dedicated machine, i wanted to, just for the heck of it>>>> post some pics of it and the monitor to see if anyone might "see" anything that might make this monitor not fire up. I dont know much about arcade internals, but i figured what the heck.

Anyways when i hold in the white "door button" on the back i hear it making noises like the game is working but nothing on the monitor? Anyways here's the pics>>

Also a few questions.
1. What size monitor does do these old exidy machines have in them??
2. What would be the best monitor to use to turn this into a MAME?? size, brand?? any links on where to buy them/? im looking to just play 2d stuff for the most part.
3. Should i really destroy this original Dedicated machine, and turn it into a mame?
4. If i was to restore TARG does anyone know where to find the artwork for this game??

Any help from anyone would be great!

Man. I loved targ when I was a kid. Can't help much with the repair, but surely someone will comment.

A wells gardner is likely the best monitor to restore it with, but there's probably alternatives to that too.

Would be cool to see it restored. Maybe someone here would be interested?
