Monitor Converter

Question from Jason: I was doing some further research on the arcade game to CRT television converter {pcb},
& here is a diagram of the typical sort: http://www.bizrice.com/upload/20120319/RGBS_CGA_EGA_YUV_TO_VGA_converter.jpg I noticed that the three a/v inputs are
what I would have thought would be the a/v output to hook up to a CRT television.
– since it’s not, how would you hook up a CRT to this sort of converter?
– any vga to a/v converter {adaptor or cable} that I’ve looked at on ebay, requires
it’s vga-computer input to have a card that allows television conversion {plus, the fact that they are all for hd / lcd television} – is there an easy/cheap way to get the signal on a CRT television {i’ve got 2 CRT tv sets & it would be ideal to get the Beast Busters arcade on a CRT screen {so I could use the guns}

Response from Jonathan: Jason,

Oops, sorry about that. I sent you the wrong link. That’s to use your arcade board on a computer monitor. You could still used that if you wanted to use a CRT computer monitor. You can usually pick these up pretty cheap on craigslist or your local goodwill store. With that said, to hook an arcade board to a television you will need a RGB to composite video converter.

Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
