Any Cliff Hanger experts?

Yes, I'm a laser guy. Purely for my collection. I've got a few neat
laser games ... besides my son likes them.

I'm having an issue with getting my Cliff Hanger finished.

Has anyone tried using a different NTSC card inside of the card that
came with the game? I am attempting to use a WG card... this card would
work in a DL game for example and it is what we used to install in our
games that we retailed (they're not made any more). I already found that
it outputs neg sync and the VMB expects pos sync (no big deal, I can fix
that with an inverter). I'm getting horribly distorted pictures from the
player/NTSC, while the direct output from the GSI is fine. If I run the
player/NTSC directly to the monitor, it looks great as well so I do know
that the NTSC card actually works. Worse case I could use that and
ignore the added graphics. Being the "purist" (snob) I am, I'd really
like to get it working 100%.

The card that came with the game has two problems. One, wires were cut
so I'm not 100% sure what goes where. The best schema I have is hand
written and has a wire that I'm not sure about (just labeled "B" and was
hard wired to a Sanyo? Monitor for blanking...). Two, I don't even know
if it is working. Aside from the "B" line, I hooked it up how I thought
it would work but I didn't get anything. I'm going to play around with
it a little more but I would think that any old NTSC should work. It
looks like the output signal is just not strong enough to drive the VMB
and so it looks very bad
