THANKS TO MY FRIEND MARK FOR SUPPLYING THE INITIAL SET OF MONITORS TO TEST
THANKS TO MY FRIEND JAMES FOR THE GREAT DETECTIVE WORK TO TRACK DOWN THE ORIGINAL SCHEMATICS

This unit supplys all power and connections to the monitor, no external connections are necessary to test the monitor. It also supplies isolated voltages.

<---Wells Gardner 6101 color XY, your basic color XY, used in most Atari vector games

<---Electrohome G05_801 black & white XY monitor, used in all Lunar Lander and some early version Asteroids games. This uses different voltages (and consequently a slightly different pin configuration) than other Electrohome black & white XY monitors.

<---Electrohome G05_802 black & white XY monitor, used in all Atari black & white XY monitor games except those noted above. Also used in other black & white XY games (Omega Race, etc.).

<---Cinematronics black & white digital vector monitor, used in all Cinematronics black & white XY games. Note the connector for the Cinematronics vector monitor is different than the connector for a comparable Vectorbeam monitor. I am trying to make a conversion connector to add to Cinematronics cable to be able to test a Vectorbeam monitor, but have been unsuccesful so far.

(pictures coming soon!) This unit can test this monitor, we just didn't have one on hand to test. <---Electrohome G08_003 color XY monitor, used in most Sega color vector games (Star Trek, Zektor, Space Fury, Eliminator, Tac Scan).

<---XY cross hatch pattern, which is available for all XY monitors.

<---another XY cross hatch pattern, obviously just the same as the above, this is just the 14" screen version.

<---Wells Gardner color raster, couldn't get a good picture on this one. Widely used on almost any standard resolution color non-vector game.

(pictures coming soon!) This unit can test this monitor, we just didn't have one on hand to test. <---Black & white raster monitor, used in many raster black & white games, Space Invaders, Sea Wolf, Atari Football, etc..

(pictures coming soon!) This unit can test this monitor, we just didn't have one on hand to test. <---Nintendo color raster 100VAC positive sync monitor, used in most Nintendo color raster games (Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, etc.), and several other games.
