Video help needed

[invadarr]

hi all, I have a couple of Questions and wonder if anyone can help as my scant knowledge of video is in need of updating. I have an amber screen 12" monitor which I was hoping to put into my ailing T/T Invader my questions are:- (1) is there any way I can convert it to B/W at the moment it is B/Amber? (2)is the video output from a Taito B/W invader what is called Composite video? (3)is this video the same as is used by CCTV if so could I use a cctv monitor to replace my defunct one in the T/T? (4)Is there anyone who would be prepared to repair my existing monitor (Blowing Fuses) (5)would anyone have a monitor for sale exchange swap (boardset, assorted Video game parts) Any help would be most appreciated.

Nope the phosphor on the inside of the tube glows that colour. > (2)is the video output from a Taito B/W invader what is called Composite > video? It is indeed composite video > (3)is this video the same as is used by CCTV if so could I use a cctv > monitor to replace my defunct one in the T/T? CCTV transmits video ontop 5 or 12vdc to power the cameras to if your monitor allows you to turn that off you should be fine. > (4)Is there anyone who would be prepared to repair my existing monitor > (Blowing Fuses) Craig of Giz10p fame is your man... www.giz10p.com > (5)would anyone have a monitor for sale exchange swap (boardset, assorted > Video game parts) What parts are you after I don't have any monitors but I have a few pcbs and spares. I hope that helps backflipper
