wow nice. So the monitor outputs VGA and you can just wire an LCD?

An employee of mine is sort of curious how much a 2005 or 2007 GT is for his house. Is there a price range for the older ones?

Perfect! I just wanted to see where GT Year vs cost was under 1k so I can give me a list so he can pick a year that fits his budget. I think they can be upgraded so that can be down down the road for him. I'll hit up Kingpin games and see what he has as well incase I can't find one local

Northern Minnesota.

Kingpin is maybe 4-5 hours away. The Twin Cities is 2-2.5 hours south of me.

ugh, I'm not on FB...sometimes it can suck for things like this or pinball league things but the drama!

He has it I bet, I'll let him know.

So I have a betson account, but where do people get the upgrade kits to go like 2005 to 2009 or 2011? I also assume if you don't pay for online, you need the unplugged version?

post pics of your progress!

Do they sell units that can play all that style games? So you could drop in a dollar and pick what game? I mean, it isn’t dedicated but man that would be handy.

On desktop web browser is taking a poll of people want GT. I think that would be a sweet 3/4 game to have. Just hope it isn’t the ultra old one. But it is a step!

Is anyone excited (at least a little) that Arcade 1up is making a GT version? Comes with Golden Tee ’98, ’99, ‘2K, and Classic ’01 and uses a HAPP trackball. I played one quick at CES and it was not too shabby.

Haha, ok, so I did play it at ces and yes it was a tad close to the screen. Once you learn how to spin without hitting the screen it works, but it was a few swings of adjustment. I like the idea of a $200-300 GT that fits in my house or work without having to stoop to a 97’ only in a big cab.

I haven’t seen it since ces but it was 4-5”?

I have a friend who may be able to get me a "broken" golden tee complete. Looks like it has the early 2000's games on it and a huge cab. Is cutting the original cab to a pedestal as easy as the YT videos hint at? Is this even worth monkeying with?

So, I ended up getting it. The game is in cold storage for me to come pick up, but it is a decent looking GT Complete Fore!

Just in case anyone swings to this thread with a broken CRT game. The screen was black and we thought it was dead some how. The brightness and contrast were cranked and alive cam the monitor but dim/hazzy. Cleaned the video card connector and contacts, new jamma connector and repinned all wires at jamma, cap kit for chassis (k7500), new remote board. STILL the dim screen. Found a thread on klov about R811 going out causing this.... seems interesting. Ordered a 75k 1/2w 5% resistor and replaced, old one was reading 0, new one was correct. All working now. Also if you have an old GT I do recommend the CF update, man it loads way faseter.
