Thanks to KLOV member Dokert, my A.P.B. is up and running! Mr. Dokert was kind enough to ask an OP friend of his if he happened to have a medium resolution monitor laying around for sale. Guess what? He did! It's a K4900 medium res pulled from a Championship Sprint. It's a bit burned, but too bad...and it WORKS...well, mostly. For some reason I can not get the picture further left (down if the monitor was facing horizontally)...
Best of all, Dokert did me a solid and sold the monitor to me for what he paid for it, $30!! That's right...thirty bucks. He even pulled a bigger solid and packed it up nicely and shipped it DHL for me. After all was said and done I sent the dude $70.00.
Here's the game ... back to life... I'm going to likely strip off the side art and replace the chrome t-molding that is chipping. There is no repro side art....and even if there was, I doubt I'd want to cough up the dough for it for this particular game.

I'd love to find a seat LOCALLY...but that's not going to happen. I found a beat up seat for FREE but shipping was like $85.00...and I'd have to scrap the seat itself, use the metal frame and build a new seat.
Not worth it.

Just found me an APB this week, and did the same as your Frizz and bought it. Side art and Chrome need a bit of work but the game is solid and works, will post some pics in here asap. :applaud:
