Greg2600 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hey all. This is not my kiosk, but I offered to help finding a replacement monitor. Now I know originally they had Atari ST monitors, but this one's is long gone. So is the VGA cable. It had a Mitsubishi 13" professional television, connected with composite I think. There's an Radioshack amp where the stereo audio goes into. The TV inside died, and most common 13" CRT's are too wide to fit in the kiosk. There is literally 14" of room, and most TV's are 14.25" wide. Anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yep. It's broken. You probably should just send it to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 An Atari SC1435 monitor is what you want. They show up on ebay, keep an eye out for it. One of the Commodore 1084 variants is also identical to the Atari version. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an alternative to the 1st party Jaguar VGA cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It's actually an RGB cable not VGA. I believe B&C still sells the cable. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyBuddies Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I might have a spare SC1435 in storage if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I might have a spare SC1435 in storage if interested. I would say so, PM me if you do have it. It's actually an RGB cable not VGA. I believe B&C still sells the cable. Mitch Seems like it for $39.95.

SuperDork3000 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) My Atari monitor using RGB just died too . Now I want to hook my Jag up to a VGA LCD monitor, I guess I need some kind of RGB to VGA converter? Will this http://www.ebay.com/itm/15Khz-RGB-RGsB-RGBS-to-VGA-Scan-Line-Doubler-Converter-/310413209763?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item484611b0a3 work? or is their a better converter/adapter out there?

That looks like Gunstar's famous Ambery box, he swears by it. Do a search in the Jaguar section for "ambery" and you'll find his many comments on it. There will also be other posts from people who put their own things together in and around his. If you've got about 4x that cash spare, an xRGB mini does RGB to HDMI in a mighty impressive way with a nice feature set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDork3000 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I really want that xrgb to hdmi converter, but $400+ is just too much. I think I might try that RGB to VGA converter instead, it's a lot cheaper and should still give a nice picture. Last question, would it be worth it to try and repair the original Atari SC1435 monitor? Does anyone know around how much it would cost to get it repaired? I'd like to keep the original monitor if it wouldn't cost too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to keep the original monitor if it wouldn't cost too much. I've heard people say that if you can still find an old TV/electronics repair shop tucked away somewhere, the old guy hidden in the back might be overjoyed to have the work and it might not be that expensive, though that could just be talk - anything like that in these parts vanished long ago when CRTs and VCRs became a thing of the past. For replacement, Atari monitors on eBay.com seem to be priced anywhere between expensive and insane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDork3000 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Ok, I'm thinking about getting the Ambery box, but I'm not sure how I would hook it up because the video cable connected to my Jag is a DB9 pin and the Ambery box has a 15 pin female input....? I'm guessing I need another adapter from 9 pin female to male 15 pin to connect the cable coming from the Jag to the Ambery box? Ambery sells a 9 pin male to 15 pin male cable, but that won't work for me. I also have a Grandtec GVC-2000 converter that accepts svideo and composite/component inputs that outputs to VGA. I could buy a Jaguar svideo cable and try to convert that to vga, but I'm not sure if that would work either. The latter would be the cheaper option for me, but would give me a poorer picture. I'm using a 15" monitor, so maybe the picture quality wouldn't be too much of a difference. Edited May 5, 2014 by SuperDork3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I recall Gunstar mentioning a couple of times at least that he fashioned his own cable using the info on their site (or in the box, whichever).

twoquickcapri Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) There is literally 14" of room, and most TV's are 14.25" wide. Anyone have any suggestions? If your still looking for a replacement you could try a Sony PVM monitor.

JagLynx4Life Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I’m having issues with my SC1435 too. Any luck guys? I heard it could be a flyback transformers - I’m curious if anyone has revived their monitor or anyone that knows of a local area in California. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I brought mine back to life with a flyback replacement. Worth a shot at least, those 1435s fit the kiosk perfectly and look so good.

JagLynx4Life Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I found a local tv shop that actually still repairs CRTs and ordered a flyback from Best Electronics. The Tech determined that this was the problematic part that has gone bad and was leaking. Does anyone happen to have the Atari Jaguar kiosk setup manual/PDF? I had it awhile ago but can no longer find it :( thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
