Warlords cocktail owners - school me on your monitors
For those of you who own a Warlords cocktail, can you educate me a bit on your monitors?
I've got a 14" Sanyo sitting on my workbench that I pulled out of a Nintendo cabaret cabinet. The tube has Warlords burn on it. It runs on 100 volts and takes standard (non-inverted) video.
Burn can be seen here:
When I first pulled the monitor to recap it, I noticed that the power cord ended in a molex connector instead of the standard Sanyo 2 prong plug. I thought to myself, "that's odd, who would hack this connector on like this?" I went ahead and fitted a 2 prong plug on there and thought nothing more of it.
Also, the video input wires were soldered directly to the chassis pcb of the monitor, "man that's REALLY weird" I thought. They were soldered directly to the board, and ended in bare wires. Whatever, I worked with it.
Fast forward to today, and while browsing some threads. I stumble across SRW's Warlords cocktail project for sale. I see this pic:
That's most definitely my monitor in that thread, a 14" Sanyo. And would you look at THAT...both the power connector AND the video feed match the description of what I encountered when I took this monitor out of the Nintendo mini. So it appears that my monitor IS in fact an old Warlords cocktail monitor.
That being said, do the Warlords cocktails use a monitor that operates on 100 volts? I only ask because I've seen a few different types of monitors used in Warlords cocktails over the years, but I thought they were all 120v monitors. Is there a 100v transformer in the bottom of the Warlords cocktails?
