As you may have seen in a couple of my other threads, I've been working on refurbishing my Pole Position upright. I'm down to the final piece : the display!
As a noob buyer, I didn't realize it had been retrofitted with a Makvision monitor. The 1519CH203

A couple observations/concerns.
1. The frame doesn't mount quite the same way as a factory G07. As I am still searching for (or will be making my own) a cardboard bezel, I suspect it won't fit quite right as I think the display sits back a bit further than than the Electrohome would. I'll figure that out later.

2. Most concerning is the colors. The road is green, not grey. I can't seem to get it adjusted so that the race track displays grey! Has anyone ever had success with this monitor and Pole Position?

3. I have a NOS WG TPG, but the video cables don't fit this Makvision. I suppose I could craft an DB9 to 5 pin cable. Or would one of CraftyMech's TPG's be work?

Should I just try and find the proper monitor and un-hack the cables?
