Quick check

cos I'm brain farting, Naomi uprights came with 31k VGA, or tri-syncs (depending on model) yeah? No low or medium res monitors in them?

 

[ZedEx48K]

Oh and can you run the monitors from a PC PSU?

Yeah that's right no 15/24k monitors unless someone swapped one out themselves, monitors are 110v .

What's the likelihood of the monitors in one of these going too dark to play? Would it just be a cap kit or something else?

 

[thechop]

If the contrast and brightness pots on the remote board do nowt it may be the screen volts need turning up VERY slightly.

 

[ZedEx48K]

Seen one for sale with this mentioned "The monitor is not good , it is very dark and it really cannot be played properly because of this"

Figured it might be worthwhile if the price is right, but not wanting to fork out on a new tube.

 

[thechop]

What kind of monitor you after?

 

[ZedEx48K]

It's the machine I'm after, would like a Naomi Universal, would go nicely with my Sega rally and makes life nice with being a VGA hookup too.

I do eventually want a new a tube for the SR cab but that is in the list of things when I have more cash lying around, the Naomi may go cheap so might just stretch.

 

[ZedEx48K]

Anyone know If I would cram this in the back of a Golf? Can the base be taken off on its own to help lie the whole thing flat'ish?

 

[thechop]

Taken apart it will fit but will be a tight squeeze if the legs are still full length and not cutdown.

 

[ZedEx48K]

I don't mind the boot open, but would prefer not to have the base dangling out the bac.

 

[thechop]

Shouldn't need to tbh, base comes off and everything strips down completely, just make sure you get it for a good price if the monitor is not good as its gonna cost you to get it fixed and a lot of these old monitors are beyond repair as it cost too much man hours to diagnose the problems sometimes.
Better if its a nanao probably.

would of been nice to just disconnect the leads that go up the leg to the monitor and leave the legs on it leading to it all being flatter and not a full dismantle, I'm 50/50 about it atm, I think a better plan is to get one with a duffer or no monitor cheap and then put in a nice tube, same with the SR, might do it next year when the wallet will be better off

Nah you got no chance with the legs still attached to the base I'm afraid, needs splitting down completely to have a chance of fitting it all in a car.

 

[ZedEx48K]

Anyone know what a line output transformer for one of these monitors would cost?

 

[JohnnyChaos]

Just to say that iirc the way the legs attach mean you can't actually take the base off first. But they are real easy to dismantle fully. Then you should get it in your car ok.

He has a chassis for £95

Decent bloke Mo might do them a little cheaper through the forums.thechop2012-12-19 22:14:23

 

[thechop]

Also are you 100% sure that will fix it?

 

[ZedEx48K]

That was the suggestion about why the tube was dark, so weighing up all odds, I know Mo well, been up there enough, just eyeing up another if it goes dirt cheap cos of the listed fault.
