Thanks, I'll check those out! I'll also check my hearing out, because after recording the sound with my phone and moving between the yoke and the HV cage, it's clearly louder when the mic was over the yoke, so it must be vector chatter. Glad that's cleared up, at least.

Yes, that's the exact video I referenced actually. Thanks for making it! I had read about vector chatter but I was unclear as to what it was until I heard it. I'm near-certain it's coming from the HV cage though. I have a HV probe in the mail, so that's the next step. Maybe I'll stick my...

My G05-802 is whistling at me, rather than displaying things. Hello all, So I finally decided to try and see if my G05-802 asteroids vector monitor works. I hooked up a signal generator to the proper input pins, provided proper power from the standard asteroids power boat-anchor, and prayed I...

Bump. Does anybody have one of these laying around?

I'm interested in the power supply, if you're parting it out.

I think the model number is A034561. I just need one that works with ZVG G05-802 cable. Can anybody help me out?

Haha, actually, been there done that. http://igm.rit.edu/node/664 http://cias.rit.edu/~nmtp/179773/socialaser/Final.pdf http://www.virtualmatter.org/vm_core/assets/2010/04/laser.jpg http://igm.rit.edu/sites/default/files/spfiles/socialaser_web_movie.mov While I wasn't on the actual team, I...

Ok so I did a bit of research, and the BDX53A is a pretty obsolete part. However, Fairchild Semiconductor recommends the BDX53B as a replacement part, which seems to be in stock at Mouser, at least...

Sorry, I see how the previous post could be confusing. Let me explain: My original plan was to get the firmware, redo the board, and then open source the board layout and see if Zonn wanted to sell diy kits, in order to keep the production still going but to significantly reduce the effort on...

Yes, I was considering that, but it just feels slightly unethical to me. I'll probably end up doing that if Zonn won't sell/give me the firmware, only I'll make just one for my own personal use. I'm not even sure I'd be comfortable releasing the board layout without Zonn's permission. Although I...

Welp, I sent Zonn an email, so we'll see where this goes!

Well, the thing is this: since it originally cost $250, I'd probably have to buy it off someone for like $275, given what I've seen them go for here. Furthermore, the thing uses a parallel port, and I don't have a PC at all, just a macbook. So even if I could get one, it's pretty much useless...

Let me know if you ever decide to part it out, I'm interested in the monitor

Do you guys think the Zektor guy would sell me just the firmware for the two microcontrollers on the board? The schematic is already on the site, I could just do my own board layout as a one-off. I fear that I will have lost interest in all of this by the time a ZVG came up for sale :P

Any interest in parting these out? I'm interested in the monitor from the working one, if you're up for shipping it to NY.

Thanks for the all help, folks! I think I'm going to stick with a bw monitor, because the entier point of me using a vector monitor would be to get crisp-as-balls lines, and the shadow mask sort of ruins that for me. I'm glad you're all into it though, I'll definitely post the results once I...

Hello arcade folks! I'm an animator and motion graphics designer / tech, with an interest in old computer graphics hardware, and I'm interested in doing some experiments with a vector monitor. But first, I have a few questions about them. If anyone could help answer them, I'd be quite grateful...

Thanks for all the info! Some more questions: - The monitor doesn't come with the HV and Deflection board? - Any idea about the weird scanline effect I'm seeing on these color vector monitor photos? - How much would an astroids cocktail game cost, with a busted up cab?

Well, it's a bit of an odd request. I'm an animator and motion graphics designer / tech, with a interest in oldschool computer graphics. Back in the day, there was a machine called the Scanimate, and it could output all sorts of crazy stuff on an old scope display...

I'm interested in buying a color vector monitor, with the yoke and all that stuff. Doesn't really matter which one it is, any will do. PM me if you have one you'd like to get rid of! EDIT: Changed my mind, any vector monitor will do, color or otherwise. Is there a big price difference between...
