monitors, monitors, monitors
so our golden axe monitor is very probably busted and no good. i’ll hold onto hope until we can test it, but i’m certainly not going to hold my breath or anything. it is a standard resolution monitor though, which is what we’d want.
so i wrote a friend of mine and asked what he used for his MAME cabinet, and he reports that the Wells-Gardner D9200 is the ‘cadillac of arcade monitors’, but i think i’d be happy with just about any of their product line. Not that we could probably afford one, given our nonexistent budget. maybe a TV, maybe an old computer monitor, maybe a used arcade monitor. we’ll have to take what we can get.
it’s also time to get rags and sponges and buckets out of the closet — next week is (hopefully) the beginning of cleaning!
