Im sure he is pleased it went to a fellow enthusiastic person who gave it the tlc it needed lol, but to be honest was a good expierence to clear out and rebuild learned a fair bit of how to do some bits along the way.

Nice job there!

I would have taken it if it meant a dump job but in all honesty i'm glad you took it - you did a good job and it looks like it has a nice new home there! Great work man :)

That's a job I'd like to spend my weekends doing. If somebody knew of one they wanted to "donate", I wouldn't mind tinkering with building one too. Hardest thing right now is the money, everything costs.

Jamma cabs are a cheap way of doing of it. You can (or could) pick them up for a couple of hundred and you get a real CRT although not in good shape. The cab also has an Ultimarc ArcaeVGA card for the monitor.
