atari super sprint monitor issues
clizifer:
i just aquired and atari super sprint upright arcade game. the game itself seems to work fine but the monitor doesnt. i beleive the previous owner had played with the settings and dials on the back of the tube. the picture looks all misaligned and the color is off. ive uploaded a picture of what it looks like. is there anyway to clean up the image so it is atleast playable?
also im curious how hard it is to do a monitor swap on something like this. the guy i got it from seemed to think he could fit a bigger monitor in it and was going to use an old tv or computer monitor. is this possible to do? i see there is only 2 connectors going to the monitor. the first 2 wire is obviously power and im guessing the other 6 wire connector is the video feed. is this anything like a 15pin monitor connection with seperate power cord??

Looks like a bad sync issue or an incorrect monitor. I'm leaning towards incorrect monitor.
Super Sprint is a medium resolution game and you'll get a screen looking like what you have if you have a standard resolution monitor in it.

ok, this monitor has burn in from another game on it so im guessing it was switched at some point. whats my best bet?? ive seen online that there is an rgb to tv converter so I can hook it up to a regular tv monitor or possibly lcd. it says it only works with standard resolution tho so would I have a problem using it on my super sprint game? or would I be better off trying to find a replacement monitor for it. ive played with the convergence trying to get the image to line up but it never does. I wanna get this thing working so I can play it lol

go to a local amusement route guy I'm sure he'll have some 19in monitors laying around that will work in that game , we toss out 19in monitors games when we get them in on trade , I'm sure they a route guy there that would sell you one for 50bucks or less here in us at arcade auctions they can't get any $$$ for those old 19 games

im not sure where i would find an arcade guy around here. theres a store that sells parts and such, but they are pretty pricy. im thinking of just going the converter route and buying the video converter off ebay for $35 then just getting an old tube tv from the recycler. i wouldnt mind upgrading the 19" to a 24" anyways as the cabinet is quite large and could easily fit a bigger monitor. im wondering if anyone has ever used the converters before
