    Default Sega Model 3 to VGA monitor??

    So my issue is I recently got a Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, the game plays great, but the monitor colors are pretty bad. The machine toppled over, so I'm currently trying to figure out how to fix that. (See here)

    But while I do that, I'm curious about other options. On the Model 3 board I have there's a VGA port, labeled C1 VGA I believe, I haven't tried hooking it up to an LCD I have (I don't think it's that simple), I believe because of frequencies and this and that.

    So then I came across this, does anyone know if this adapter would work?

    It's only $39, which doesn't seem too bad. Seems to convert a bunch of frequencies and so on, I'm unsure if it's really compatible. But I though one of you guys and gals here may know.

    I found out from this forum post on this site here that the Sega Model 3 arcade I have is a medium resolution monitor running at 24.80khz

    Thanks!

    Update: Interesting, I found an old Focus TView VGA to Composite/S-Video adapter I got a computer show a while back. It's actually for Mac monitors, but I have VGA adapters for Mac ports. Anyway, when I plug the arcade into the adapter, I actually get a picture via the S-Video or Composite jacks on my TV! I'm surprised it accepted (or showed) such a low frequency.

    Now the image isn't the right side, some colors are off, and it seems that there's some odd stuff. But it's still interesting. Image below:
