Re: Vector/Raster switchable monitor?

Ah, but they are taking what looks like a very nice Tempest cabaret (which
don't grow on trees as it is) and ruining it. That's the 'Sheesh'. There
is, of course, the legal aspect of that auction. I suspect eBay would be
interested in that, as MAME clearly states that you must have the game
board in your possession to run the games. I know, I know, who cares for
home use-but this person is SELLING one of these...
