Any1 with a Gauntlet Darklegacy Confirm this Monitor?

Looking for info about my neotec, I came across a ebay listing [ http://www.ebay.com/itm/142095614439?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT ] with a chassis for
it & a model #2701EHS1153 with exact tube #A68AEG25X03 by RCA that matches my tube #. So I search google for this barcode 5675-15355-00 that's on my monitor & it points to https://na.suzohapp.com/midway/Gauntlet_Dark_Legacy/27/Ch4_Parts_Gauntlet_DL_27.pdf

Can any1 confirm this ?
 
I am not really sure I understand what your asking, But I will add to this topic.
Neotec had 2 versions of that monitor That I know of.

The 2701 was a Med Rez chassis Maybe Dual res CGA EGA But I know EGA for sure.
The 2702 Is a VGA ONLY chassis found in Arctic Thunders Ect... 640 X 480 lines. I have this monitor myself so I can 100% say it is VGA only.
And I have that tube you listed on my VGA monitor. X03 is the Yoke type. All of "my" dual rez monitors have a X05 yoke listed on the tube, But I cant say for sure that is correct for "ALL" other monitors. It may be just some odd coincidence that I have all 05's

So your IMO asking about 2 different chassis. BUT GDL can run VGA as well as CGA EGA so...
 
I want to make sure I get right chassis for so that's why I want to make sure first... theirs no other marks on tube to point to correct model of neotec chassis...
 
Well as that is the Exact tube Numbers I have on my 2702 Neotec I will have to go with you want a VGA 2702 Chassis. Not a 2701, BUT in his auction he says it came off that tube so.... Maybe it will work on EGA.

Make sure you check out that seller's feedback. 96% would give me pause on Ebay since many issues go unreported.
 
I hope so, I'm still looking for more data on it. but seems like I'm getting closer to solving this puzzle.. I hate puzzles like this but that barcode got me thinking and you maybee correct with 2702 cause gauntlet dl is a vga res game by default but can work in standard res too with that tube
 
I was under the impression Dark Legacy was medium res by default, the VGA thing is a hack.
 
if so then mine mayhave been a replacement from suzohapp at the time cause part# is mentioned in the manual for 27" upright version oor it could of came with it, dunno
 
Default was medium resolution.

It can be made to run VGA. Can't remember if it'll do standard resolution or not but you certainly wouldn't want that.
 
I dont think so, there is even a dip switch setting in the manual for VGA. If its in the manual I would hope it was a supported feature.

Beware the manual dip switch settings on GL and GDL. They're inconsistent and inaccurate and it's burned me once already.

But yeah, VGA is supported. I think Frizz had his running VGA output and said it looked very nice.
 
so then this wont work with any of the games I got then.. cause rwt/umk3, sf2ww and neogeo are def not vga.. then ill save that tube for something that will work with vga or can I conv it to standard res so it will work with more games ?

How did it burn you exactly? I have a GDL I bought that the seller "upgraded" the monitor to an LCD. I have a tri-mode RCA with a WG chassis I want to fix and throw in, but I am curious as to what happened to you.

The settings around converting from 49 way optical to 8 way joys were inconsistent/wrong and it sent me off on a merry goose chase.

With that monitor and 8 way joys, this cabinet becomes outstanding for hosting multiple games, particularly with the remote monitor adjustment board pulled into the CP where you can just pop it up w/o unlocking anything. That's what I've done with mine and it's excellent. In my cabinet, I have NBA Jam, GDL, and Smash TV. I also have 2 JROK boards.

Biggest issue your going to have is that it's a 27" tube. Not many cabs can physically fit that large of a CRT in them.

Second issue (and it may NOT be a issue) you will have to know what chassis work on that tube. We know the 01 and 02 Neotec DO work so you could just look for a 01 chassis and try your tube on it. You may then have a great 27" EGA monitor.

Third issue, these tubes are kind of Meh.... The one I have had to have reguve done and then a clean and Balance, and it is Still not as good as I think it should be. Green Gun is off IMO.
 
points well taken,finding a cab to fit it in..... I can search locally for a cab that will fit a 27in like a 90's midway style cab like mk,blitz,ki ....those I know can fit a 27"...
my bootleg dynamoclone had a 26" crt in it, so I'm sure a 27 will squeeze in but I'm going to put the wg in it.....or I could....

and make something for it to fit that in itself would be demanding, insaine, nuts, wtf were you thinking etc

How come you converted from 49 way to 8 way?

Because I wanted to put multiple boards in it and GL was the only one that used 49 ways. Incidentally, there is little difference in game play between 49-way sticks and 8 ways.

I got rid of my K7500 that originally was in the cabinet too but that wasn't by design. I sent it in to one of the big monitor repair places and it never worked right again. So I put a tri-sync monitor in it and now it plays everything well.
