what is needed to replace space invaders monitor with tv

woke up this morning and my space invaders monitor has taken a big fat dump
i know i can use a tv in place of the monitor but what kind of tv and how do i hook everything up
this is a space invaders deluxe upright

thanks in adv
 
somewhere on brentradio's excellent space invaders site is a document that told me that space invaders outputs a composite signal. that is the yellow rca wire that is usually accompanied by white and red wires, used to connect vcr's or dvd players to tv's.

when I hooked up my SI trimline to a tv, I cut the end off of a yellow rca wire, found where the monitor signal connector was on the harness and mated the wires. one is insulated one is not, it was pretty easy to figure out. if the tv you want to use does not have a composite input you can use an rf modulator.

thanks thats what i needed to know
one ? tho on si what wire goes to what on the rca jack

oh and i dont have to use a b@ w tv do i any tv with a composite will work right

lol damn new forum layout i forgot about the new monitor section lol
 
on my trimline it was easy, there was a 4 pin connector going to the monitor. 2 wires were power, 2 were signal. I do not know how it goes on a midway machine, but I'll bet it is somewhat similar.

check the manual's wiring diagram or pinouts.

color tv works fine.

That curl will probably adjust out if you tweek the horizontal oscilator.

does this refrence the l shaped 2 board set wich is what my si has in it
i completed a cab restore today so tommorow im going to tear into my si and get the monitor replaced and then on to my gorf thats missing sounds ahhhhhhh what a weekend at least was able to sell a 60 in 1 so in not totaly broke atm

I'd ask the webmaster, but I believe this is supposed to be true with any SI boardset.
