How to use supergun with my arcade monitor?

Post by ninjainspandex »

got a great deal on a brand new 25 inch wells gardener arcade monitor, never been used in a cab was bought new by the owner even still has the protective plastic wrap on the screen. It came in this great metal case that looks like a PVM so I was thinking this would make an ultimate monitor for my Supergun. How do I hook it up to the supergun? it seems to only have one input on the back that looks like VGA but I doubt its actually VGA, maybe RGB? Also do you think its mounted securely in this case enough to use it as a TATE monitor? Hopefully some arcade Gurus can give me some advice on this, quite pleased with this purchase. Here are some pics.

The sticker on the back says it's RGBs (I assume - composite sync) over the different pins. It's definitely not VGA, which has 15 pins (5 pins staggered over three rows) and also has separate horizontal and vertical sync signals. You should be able to just get a cable wired from the supergun direct to a plug into the monitor. I think the type you will need to plug into this monitor is a male DE-9.

Get one of these, solder the corresponding connections from your supergun to the pins on the connector, then get a straight wired 9-pin male-male cable (like this).
