Ok a joke and2$, hope someone's still reading.

here's the situation, bought a Daytona USA twin for the newly finished basement.

Having some issues and looking for some guidance. Sound board is inop, have a new one and need to replace. Air force mechanic, but no arcade repair exp.

Right side monitor stopped working in top 1/3 this am, middle 1/3 stopped this pm. replace it? If so can I rig up a 1080 LCD 27" ?

Seats don't adjust, not a huge issue but if anyone knows where to find replacements I'd appreciate.

I got a great deal on it so I'm ok with throwing a few hundred at it to get it tip top.


Thanks for anyone's help in advance, I've already learned a lot about the different game modes in the few minutes I've been on here,
 
Just repair the monitor. Since you're new I'll go ahead and tell you that the original monitor always looks better than an LCD on these arcade games. Plus the CRT monitors aren't made anymore so we need to repair them ourselves.

My guess is they are Nanao monitors but a picture of the monitor chassis will help us confirm. If it is they tend to get really bad foldover and collapse in the picture. A cap kit will do wonders probably. Not the easiest kit to do but if you can solder at all you can work through it.

EDIT: monitor threads will get more attention in the monitor repair section.

Normally I'd agree; on these types of games I don't. Not saying to toss the monitor, but LCD monitors look good on racers.

Classic games like Pac-Man, OTOH....no.
 
Yeah I didn't say the lcds would look bad on the racers he has but I'd still try to fix the originals before I trashed them and spent the dough in lcds.

Classics on LCDs do suck.
