Re: Smaller CRT's + Starblade/Starwars conversion

Hi,

I've been thinking of going the other way - but cheating kinda :-)

I want to mount a 25" Amp in place of the normal 25" raster in my Starblade.

Basically turning my Starblade into an enviro starwars. hehe

I have a sw loom spare and the monitor - albeit I would have to nick it out of my cockpit.

It would make a great 50" + Starwars what with the curved mirror projection system used on Starblade.

The only thing I don't know whether it would be possible would be to use the strobes in Starblade. Could you somehow incorporate them to start from a specific signal from the board/monitor upon the deathstar explosion?

  Subject: VECTOR: Smaller CRT's

  I was just thinking of some interesting ways of making my test bench smaller because of my limited space. A little while ago I scanned in the B&K CRT Setup Chart which not only makes a good cross-reference guide, but also allows you to cross-over different sizes by looking at the matching CRT adapters. http://www.ionpool.net/arcade/tech/bk-rejuvenator-setup.pdf

  So, a 19" amplifone CRT (19VLUP22) should be compatible with anything using adapter #23 according to the Setup Chart right?

  I found a 13" CRT (13VBLP22) that uses the same adapter and a 15" (15VATP22). You could probably build a cool cocktail star wars game with a 13" monitor. :)

  For Wells Gardner 6100 the 19" tube is 19VLUP22 and uses B&K CRT adapter #24

  So does 13VAYP22 and 15VAYP22.

  So, I suppose the only concern might be the size of the yokes, but for bench test purposes it might not make that big of a difference.

  Any thoughts?

  Matt
