www.therealbobroberts.com  look up the test rig section.

For the RGB converter, I think gatorcade.com sells them.

If you have an arcade monitor, you can just use that instead.

I only paid $75.00 + shipping for the converter. This was over a year ago though. Good luck!!!

Here is an Idiots Guide to Supergun page.   Looks like it does not have video info yet but jrok's converter takes care of that using a TV.
