Can someone with a SANYO EZ20 measure the viewing area of the monitor?
What size? I ask because I have a MissCmd cocktail with a 14" Sanyo EZ20 in it. Can't take all this stuff for granted! Smiley

Hah! Love your price guide... Not that it's a bible, but nothing else exists in THE WORLD concerning the price of the arcade games... Maybe expand it to include the price of game PCB's too? Just saying! Keep up the good work! Smiley

Atari's AR power boards are horrible, mainly due to the linear power supply overpowering the poor pcb's causing those resistors to flame!

I've bulletproofed every single one of my Atari AR boards using this advice: http://www.stickycarpet.com/pinx/ar2mods.html

I've even removed that stupid useless R29 resistor and replaced it with a jumper wire, who thought of this +5vdc sense crap? argh!

And sometimes, I just don't wanna with it and go with a switcher cuz it's cheap and dammit it's EZ-2-DO! Smiley

I'm gonna make it my mission to find the Scalfani somewhere.  I'm curious to taste the difference now.
Wasn't all that hard to find...

http://www.sclafanifoods.com/products.php?category_id=1156&product_id=11281

$3.99 per can. I ordered 4 cans + $10 S&H, which isn't bad for the weight! Smiley
