Amazing Emma, so VGA is a possible option, I'll have to read up on the MPC3000 Akai VGA card, there are a few posts on the MPC forum......is it likely that VGA is simpler to implement than the Group buy option of a new LCD or are they both are difficult as each other....wow thank-you, you are really throwing up some incredible knowledge, hats off to you, is the schematic you have, the one from the service manual?
