the TV in pong has the tuner disabled therefore it can no longer be used as a TV and can only be used as a MONITOR just like the monitors we know of today. Yes monitors as we know them existed back then. A TV by its very definition is a type of monitor.Except monitors as we know it didn't exist back then. which is why they were referred to as TVs, because that's what they were.
there are also some g07 monitors that were originally designed as a color tv. the tuner parts were cut off at the factory and the pcb is about 2'' wider than a standard g07Monitors start with the Motorola XM500. If it's a modified for composite television, it was still originally made to be a consumer television.
Jason is certainly familiar with this, but all the early color monitors were TV-derivatives. He's taking about the GO7-CAO that was found in Monte Carlo and a couple other games, and is a hack of a JVC TV chassis that was further refined into the GO7-CBO.there are also some g07 monitors that were originally designed as a color tv. the tuner parts were cut off at the factory and the pcb is about 2'' wider than a standard g07
Yes, you are correct. I should have clarified…In the context of Joe Magiera's question, it matters whether it's a TV or a monitor![]()
i don't know of any < 19" arcade monitors that are plug and play with the pinout you speak of. except maybe for a gorf mini . there are several industrial monitors < 19" and some of them share the same connector used in arcade games. these monitors range from 3''-15'' in fact you can often get NOS monitors still in the box for less than $20 search HGR they are the worlds largest industrial surplusSo for the other games mentioned here, do any of those monitors fit my new/added requirement of:
>Black & white raster monitors <19" AND have the same monitor connection as common black & white raster games, I.e. Space Invaders, Atari x's & o's Football, etc.
I've heard of most of the games mentioned, but I've never seen the insides of any of them to know the monitors.
The Toei monitor that the Space Invaders trimline, and a bunch of Japanese cocktails, use is probably the main one. Found this pic of the back opened on an SI.So for the other games mentioned here, do any of those monitors fit my new/added requirement of:

ah yes i just looked at this picture of the gorf monitor. see this edge connector? this is not the type of connector you are asking for but this is the most common used in industrial equipment about 80% of these crts used this exact pinout and about 20% used the space invaders style HintView attachment 803263
ah yes space zap i meanHint:
That's not a Gorf...
...a color game with a vertical monitor...
Tvs may be monitors but some monitors may also be tvstv sets are monitors
