GOT SCREEN!

I picked up an old Microvitec CUB monitor today - Yes one of those old steel cased monsters that we used to use with BBC B's when we were at school!

It is a TTL RGB monitor and I easily wired it up to JAMMA with R/G/B GND and SYNC.

I tested it with a Jamma board (with a switching PSU and a jamma harness) and it works fine.

It has a nice clear picture, especially for it's age.

I have to make a few frame mounts for it at work and also cobble together some sort of bracket to hold the chassis close to the tube. I may mount it all on the screen panel, so if I ever have to pull the screen out - it'll all come out together. I won't have to pull out loads of plugs and discharge the damn thing again.

I have also done a few cosmetic things to the cabinet - glued the black plastic vinyl on the front and painted the back. I'm still waiting for the marquee light strip to arrive - damn cheapass 2nd class poster!

I will post up pictures hopefully tomorrow, with the screen in it!
