Hey guys, I just purchased another cabinet, only it dosent have a monitor in it. The cab needs a 25' monitor, Anyway question is besides Happ and 8-Liners is there anyone that sells refurbed monitors or monitors that arent too expensive. I'm in MD on the east coast so if there someone local especially lemme know.


Thanks Guys!!!!

I'm getting to the point where I would just put in a Component TV and use a neobitz....

The picture is wonderful, the compatability is great and it is easier to hook up consoles.

Hope you're not partial to the earlier MK games or NBA jam.. those wont' work with encoders due to the refresh rate.

MK2 didn't work with my neobitz DIY or my JRok. On JRok's site, IIRC, he specifically says it doesn't' work with most of the 57hz midway games.

Try it with a different TV..
Also, Look around, there may be a fix out there by going into Your TV's service mode.


http://jrok.com/hardware/RGB-FAQ.html#problems

The only known problems are with later Midway games such as Smash TV, NBA JAM, Mortal Komat ( 1, 2 & 3 ) . These games use a vertical sync. frequency of around 56Hz ( the majority of games having a vertical sync of around 60Hz ). This vertical sync. frequency appears to be incompatible with some Sony TV sets, most notably the Sony WEGA series. These sets cannot sync to this frequency and the picture will roll vertically.

This is NOT a problem with the output from the converter is it purely a problem with the TV receiver.
