i just got a old cinematronics "jack the giant killer" cabinet with gals panic 2 in it..

its got some weired raster monitor ive never seen before with volume adjustments on it.

Looking from the back ive got like volume vert size etc adjustments on the lefthand side and red green blue adjustments on the right, next to the video input..

does that sound like a nineendo monitor to you?
 
The sound adjustment is for an amp that boosts the sound IIRC. Sanyo 20EZ monitors usually have a lot of metal brackets for protecting things like the neck. One metal box encloses the flyback and has the suction cup HV wire come out a 2" hole in the top. You would have the monitor board, a small sound board, the neckboard, and I think some other small slender board (again IIRC). And Sanyo 20 ez monitors usually have a plug like you would plug into a wall socket. I think they were still hooked to an iso transformer, but the plug made it easier to plug into the cabinet. Sanyo monitors stick out like a sore thumb once you have seen them. May not recognize them at first, but you know you have seen them before.
 
20ez... wtf.. how the??? wow. I just got rid of a nice nintendo cabinet too.. ugh.


Now, school me, i am a nintendo moron. I thought nintendos used inverted video.. if so how thwe eff does this monitor show a nice perfect image off of a jamma board outputting standard rgb?

depending on what this thing is worth i might pull it and the gals panic kit and stuff a multi with a pc monitor in here then kick it out the door like yesterdays muff.

Yeah, for use with a Nintendo gameboard you would move that plug to the "non invert out" header; or bypass that little inverter board altogether and plug the video cable directly into the header on the chassis.

That's the first 20-EZV I've seen with a degauss switch. I thought that only the 20-Z2AW had that.

How is the picture tube? Any screen burn?

The really old 20EZV's had the manual degauss.

I have 3 of them originally from classic Nindendo machines (early 80s, e.g., Donkey Kong) and none of them have the degauss switch. My pair of 20-Z2AWs in my Punch-Out machine were made in the mid-'80s (1984), and have degauss switches (I believe that all 20-Z2AWs have a degauss switch). The OP's 20-EZV was also made in 1984, so it is newer than the 3 degauss switchless ones that I have.

Nintendo wasn't the only one to use the Sanyo 20EZ.... I know they were original equipment in some Atari games.
 
the tubes not too bad on thos one but it could really use caps..

Im really thinking about parting this game or something. WOuld seem a shame to let this krappy game go with that monitor in it..

WHatever it came out of, it was a dual monitor game its labeled "left monitor"

Thanks for the replies guys. Nintendo stuff is weired to me, i dont see alot of it around here.

I have a no name never identified monitor that works but we had no clue what the pinout was on it. mabye its time to dig it out and see if i can make it go bye bye in this game.
