I just got a 19" Betson monitor of of eBay from a fellow called Crazy Hugo, and it came without a manual.
I am using it to replace a Wells and Gardner 19K7689 (in case it is relevant).
The monitor requires no isolation transformer. So far so good.
The problem is with the video connection. The existing monitor has a red green and blue connection (R,G,B) to the JAMMA harness, plus a black for video ground and a white for sync. The new monitor has red green and blue, a black, a white, plus a yellow wire. The spot the connector plugs in on the chassis reads as H (white), V (yellow), E (black), and B G and R.
I want to hook the monitor up to the existing JAMMA harness. Is this going to cause me any trouble?

You can just leave the yellow wire alone since your previous setup was using a composite sync.

Thanks.
Now to press gang somebody into helping me haul out the old monitor and lifting this one in.

Help!
Help!
Help! Something bad just happened!
:embarassed:
I hooked up the monitor. It ran for a while (but with no red, which I assumed was just a bad wire), but then it went off, making a funny high pitched squealing sound.
I have no idea what just happened. ???
I can't believe this. I only just put it in.
{{EDIT: There was a spark when it first started up. I thought it might have been a fuse at first, but the monitor worked ,albeit without red, but it may have been something more sinister. Any help would be appreciated.}}

I sent the electronic away to be repaired, and I just got them back the other day. I went to put the electronics back in and realized that I had forgotten to take a photo of where the plugs all go when I took it apart. Now I do not know where to put the plugs back in.
If there is somebody who would be kind enough to post a photo of their Betson with the plugs all in their proper places, I would appreciate it very much.
