    Ok so just on this, some of the minimum quantities through Radionics are a bit bananas, and push the price up to €42 for a few connectors delivered. Luckily, you can get them at more sensible quantities through Farnell. See below:

    ^^ Radionics list, kinda madness unless you need all those pins.

    ^^ €25 delivered through Radionics, and this is a list for x2 of the monitors.

    ^^ The Farnell parts list, again, there's parts for x2 monitors here.

    Thanks again to @80s Synth Pop for the list, absolute god send.

    I’d really appreciate “an idiots guide” to wiring these up. In truth it’s been years since I had to mess around with an arcade monitor. I’ve been lucky and my cabs haven’t needed tinkering in ages . So would love to see what way you guys are connecting these up in your projects just to figure out what I need to do.

    I'll likely go the groovymame setup for one of these anyway, possibly jamma/Mister for the other. I'd be happy to document it but it's WAY down the list currently. Firstly I need a way to mount them. It'd be handy to find x2 faulty 17" crt monitors to just swap these into, as I don't really have space for x2 mid sized bartops currently.

    Hi folks, really glad it seems almost everyone is sorted I know there's one or two outside of Dublin who I'll make arrangements with soon. Enjoy and looking forward to seeing them in action.

    These monitors are nice as they're quite easy to wire up as it looks like most of it is done already. Will just need adjustment from there then.

    In terms of mounting monitors, small wood planks and corner brackets have worked a charm for me.
