Re: Arcade Renovations 'new' monitor

I don't know about anybody else, but it would be great if someone could
come up with replacements (maybe on daughter pcbs) for the 2 custom chips
(hv chip and deflection chip) for the G08. Maybe something like the AVG
replacement available at www.multigame.com.

Surely Electrohome and Sega had/have the schematic for the interior of
this chip....
