WTB: 13" CGA Monitor
« on: September 27, 2010, 08:32:06 PM »
Hi,

I'm looking for a 13" CGA monitor, that I can use for a Baby Pac Man.

Anyone can help?  :)

Cheers,
Marco

Alternatively you could try to find a Commodore 1084 or compatible monitor...

I guess it's too big, there's very little room in the Baby Pac cab   ???

Or is it possible to fit it in, anyone?

Cheers,
Marco

Diameter sizes vary, while it's still the same tube.
Only sure way is measuring the diagonal yourself and/or the mounting holes.

It's not only the slow warming up, as described in the marktplaats ad, the colors look very pale (especially the red) and the image is wobbly. Could a cap kit solve this? For now, I like the idea of a whole new monitor better...

Yes those are all signs of what cap-kits can fix...
