I was thinking of investing in some Corstat boxes for my pcbs. It would be great to have actual artwork labels on them to distinguish quickly which game is which. Anyone done this before or have a source where to get them? I'm not savvy at all when it comes to artwork/PS.

Looking for an Astro City. Preferably in good condition. Located in the US.

Sold!!!

***SOLD*** Blast City. It's set up for Jamma/Chamma. Kortek CGA monitor (no burn in). The bezel doesn't fit perfectly on the machine because of the curvature on the monitor (OEM frame though). It needs longer bolts to sit back further or the bezel could be sanded down to fit properly. An...

I took the chance and picked it up. I'll check it out. I have the time! I'm pretty sure it does not require an isolation transformer. Thanks. EDIT: This does not fit a Blast City. Curvature is too large but will try back mount it with some longer bolts. This monitor does not require an...

How is this monitor? I was thinking of putting it in a Blast City if it would fit? I only play CGA games. It's a $25 gamble for me. Does it require a isolation transformer?

So I got the thing to sync and got into the menu and changed it to english :-) I tried a few boards and they worked. One game though did not come up so I had to auto sync that to get to work. Does it not save your display setting after it's turned off? Regarding STFII I'm chalking that up as a...

I think my 8200 board isn't functioning properly. Even when I only have the VGA in and P3 unplugged I get this triple picture. I can't believe the VGA cable is bad. Maybe I got a bad 8200?

I was just reading about that mod the other day! I'll have to look into that. Does anyone sell these already modded? :-) Thanks,

Thanks, man! Temporarily I wanted to just test it so pulled out a ground/5v from the JVS since I'm not using any of the Naomi stuff to test the 8200 board. Well it sort of works. R.G.B.G.S. are in P3. The screen is sort of split. That auto scan button works but doesn't do much. Unless I'm doing...

Well I was thinking two wires from each 3.3v slot then spliced into the inverter. OK well scratch that. Besides a jamma passthrough any other option to grab the 5v? It doesn't have to be the easiest way :-)

I have the JVS power connectors. There are no 5v ports open unfortunately at CN3 but there are few 3.3v open. The 8200 says 5v-12v. I'm thinking I could splice the cable into two 3.3v slots. Thanks for replying.

Hi all. I'm hooking up a 8200 CGA/VGA converter to my Blast City with my Sanwa 29E31S. Where's a good place to tap in to 5+ volts to power the 8200 unit? I'm new to the candy cabinets and these IO boards are a tad confusing compared to a switching power supply :-) Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Bringing a post back from the dead. Did you end up getting a VGA to CGA converter for the Sanwa 29E31S? I am currently in the same boat. Picked up a Blast and it has the Sanwa 29E31S. Damn it.
