gonna try to keep it short and easy to understand.
star castle came with a boardset and monitor,boardset hooked up to monitor direct.
ok,so i got a star castle that i bought ages ago,it has been souped up pretty bad,not right power supply/not right linear power supply and the boardset has been rigged to run to a stellar castle video/audio board and then to an hantarex mtvr vector.
i saw a boot leg star castle cocktail parts being sold on ebay here in uk a while back,the boardset is different but,the owner described the gameboard has having DACS on the boards so the board would work with any vector monitor.
so am i right or wrong with the presumption.either star castle boards will work when hooked up to any vector monitor or does the monitor have to have something more,i know the original monitor was supposed to be a keltron.
basicly the cab when i bought it worked,although it had a realy bad jumpy pic,i tried to do some adjustments to the monitor as the horizontal was way off,if i put the overlay on the monitor,the coloured parts did not line up with the pic.
so without knowing what posts did what i turned some on the stellar castle board (without thinking realy) i started to adjust things and i inadvertantly turned either the x or y pot,i turned off the cab first before i adjusted anything,well when i turned this 1 pot i turned the power on and the power supply blew.
i repaired it but,ever since i get a small dot on the monitor and the game plays blind.
well i dont know much about board repairs so i am bit throw off by it.
cant i just hook the board direct to the monitor or did this stellar board have to be there?
i dont even have a clue what linear power supply is there either.
is the stellar castle board supporting the monitor as the monitor is missing something,dacs?
