Has anyone used one of Arcadeshop's Kortek Imperial Monitors in a Monaco GP? I am trying to find the pinout for this game.
 
Thanks so much Darren. But what page of the manual did you see this on?

First on p10 (PDF page number). In the lower-right quadrant. This shows the pins involved, but not their specific functions.

Then on p30 (again, PDF page). In the upper-right quadrant. This shows the functions of each pin.
 
Would that be positive or negative H or V sync? I guess I will have to jump H or V?

It's presumably composite sync (i.e. H&V together). I have no idea if it's positive or neg. If your Kortek has both inputs, try one and see if it syncs. I won't cause any damage if it's hooked up wrong... just won't sync the image.

If I had to guess.. I'd guess negative sync, as it looks like it was originally on a seperate connector (that, and neg sync is more common).
 
I have a new connector in route since one of the connectors broke off the back. I will let you know how I make out!

So I replaced the cracked connector and I got NO picture on the New Imperial Kortex monitor from arcadeshop. I unplug the signal wires and plug them into the old monitor and I get a picture. The sync is off but I get a picture. What the frig can I be doing wrong for the new monitor? Any ideas?
 
I doubled checked everything. I connected this monitor to another game and it works great. Currently I have the sync out but I should still get some kind of picture no?
 
Yes. Full sized Cockpit version of Monaco GP with 19" monitor. I believe it states 100v on the outlet labelled TV Monitor. Shouldn't I at least get a pic even if I plug the monitor into a 120v circuit? I tried both ways. The New Monitor is NOT a 100V monitor.

Well, if the new monitor runs off 120V and you plug it into 100V, chances are you're not going to get anything. If you plug a 100V monitor into 120V, chances are you'll kill the monitor.
 
I hear ya but I did plug the monitor to an outside outlet and still no picture. :(

I take it that this is the full size cockpit version Monaco GP with a 19" monitor, right?
The cockpit version has a 20" monitor.

The service outlet in the cabinet is labelled 120v.
