The image it produces isn't very bright and tuning the image adjustments won't make it any brighter. :(\n\nThis can be caused by aging capacitors on the CRT's circuit board; called a chassis. However this monitor's chassis has already had new capacitors installed.\n\nWhen powering on this machine, I noticed that it took a while before an image would appear. This is a good indication that the electron guns inside of the picture tube are exhausted. A special device called a \"rejuvenator\" might be able to resuscitate them.",

It allows a Sega Genesis to be connected to an arcade cabinet through the JAMMA wiring standard.\n\nIt's been awhile since I've made a bodge board, but as mentioned in a previous post I wanted to add some resistors in line of the color circuits coming out of the Genesis. I figured that some potentiometers would be best suited as they can let me tune the color values.",
