Title: Odyssey monitors Post by: cp on February 27, 2009, 12:00:56 AM I've read where it "may" be possible to install / retrofit new (lcd) touch screen on an Odyssey.
So... has anybody successfully done it ? Would like to hear of any... Thanks.

The problem is the touchscreen. i have not tried other touchscreens with it. The Touch controller is a common one.
if you look back on top of the CPU box you will see a HD-15 connector. Getting a new CRT for an odyssey is NOT easy, but they DO use them in European TV sets (Philips). Good luck with the project. My experiance was a LOVE/HATE relationship with my odyessy..loved it when it worked, hated it when it would kick me in the chops (happened WAY too much). We parted it out and saved a few other machines.... Kirk Title: Re: Odyssey monitors Post by: cp on February 28, 2009, 07:21:17 PM Thanks... I kinda knew that the Odyssey would function with LCD screen... but as you've mentioned... the touch screen is the issue...plus the dimensions. I have 3 working machines....however in transport, the touchscreens were cracked.... so... that's the dilema I'm in. Probably will part them out.
Title: CAUTION! Transporting Odyssey monitors Post by: Billythekid on March 02, 2009, 09:12:23 PM I had one crack in transport also and the guy I bought it from had his original crack in transport too!!! DO NOT SHIP AN ODYSSEY THROUGH A TRANSPORT COMPANY WITH THE MONITOR/TOUCH SCREEN IN THE MACHINE! Pull out the monitor touch combo and pack or crate it seperatly! touch screen up and not near anything that could break it. Even if you have insurence you cannot find them easliy.
