Polemicist Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Have a look on the BYOAC forums. Saw a couple there. Also you can take the plans for pretty much anything you like and resize it to fit you screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need it fixed that isn't something I would advise a newbie on. Most cases a fly back needs a cap kit if it has problems but you really need to have it fixed by people that do it for a job. Also I have to ask why would you buy one that is broken? You can pick up brand new ones for under a $1000 shipped worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinlives Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 ...you really need to have it fixed by people that do it for a job. Pole's correct. Don't mess with repairing that yourself unless you know what you are doing. The caps can continue to hold a significant amount of juice, even after being unplugged, though not indefinitely. Before you go dropping a bunch of $$$ repairing it, ask yourself the following: 1. Am I comfortable with moving and installing an 80lb.+ object? 2. Is the 800 x 600 resolution limitation going to meet my needs? 3. Are the exposed dangerous electronics of the monitor a concern for the safety of my kids/pets/drunken friends? 4. Is it possible that MAME's HLSL effects are good enough to recreate the authenticity of the original arcade experience on a bigger, cheaper, lighter, better resolution TV? Just a few things to think about. I've been down this road myself recently, and I now have a D9800 collecting dust due to my hastiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polemicist Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Exactly. For the $1000 I would spend on a 29" CRT I can pay an extra couple of hundred and get a really sweet Samsung 46" LED and have real bragging rights. admittedly the cab for a monster screen needs to be substantial but damn does it look sweet.

RenegadeFred Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The TriSync monitor is nice and all.. but you would be better off spending the cash on an LCD. The above comments are correct, these things weigh a TON. LCD requires basically NO maintenance, you can run them in 4:3 mode to eliminate the stretching and there's even scan line generators you can use also. By the time you factor in the cost for a CRT vs LCD it's an easy choice. Let alone the resolution differences (again mentioned above) I have a 33" myself and from back to front of the monitor case is about 26 inches. So you'll need a good amount of room for your cab also. If you do choose to go with a CRT monitor, look around there are plans for a Dynamo Showcase Arcade, which houses these bigger monitors. There about 4 foot wide, 6 foot tall, and 5 1/2 foot long. Definitely not made for smaller spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polemicist Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Wow that is huge. I didn't know they needed a cab that big. Well at least you would have a lot of space to play with and therefore could have a 4+1 spin/track cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlk Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Why all this CRT hate? Nothing beats a properly setup Arcade CRT, I have a MS2931 tri-sync monitor and run everything at their native resolutions. Groovymame + Arcade monitor = arcade heaven.

rdhanded2 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I have been through 3 Makvision 29 tri modes. I will never touch one again. I am a crt fan all the way, but the maks have a terrible history of being crap for people, and 3 out of 3 were bad for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polemicist Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 CRT are a great look for old school so no hating here. For new stuff yeah give me LCD/LED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazzardActual Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I bought a 2 slot neo geo MVS a few months back and the screen went out about 2 weeks after that. it was 699 for a mak or 250 for a 32 inch seki LED and 40 for the conversion board from RGB to vga. I'm glad i went the way i did. CRTs are cool and all, but why deal with all the extra weight/hassle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knewlife Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This post comes to me in the right time... i was about to buy a 29 CRT TV for my home consoles hs machine and a VGA to RGB adapter but... now i think i gonna go for a LCD TV... just a few $$$ more... i want to have my HS Console below my TV so i can have it in the living room, my wife can watch TV or Movies there and y can come later, change the video source and play in a minute to all those console classics ... just like the old times with my Sega Genesis PLUS: my wife is happier now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polemicist Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This is a very old debate. Both have their good points depending on what you want to use it for. Keeping the wife happy is more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
