Can you run a MODEL 2C CRX in 15khz mode?

    Hello chaps,

    I recently got a Sega MODEL 2C CRX with Sega Water Ski on ebay and was trying to get it up and running.

    It came with a Mainboard, Gameboard, Cage, Video Board, and a Happ power supply (I live in Oregon, USA, and most likely the person that used it before me used it in an arcade in the USA)

    In any case I don't have any cabs but I did manage to get the power supply working with a 3 plug power cable I have, and also got 4 BNC connector cables for the video board.

    Here is the problem. The board traditionally ran at 24khz, and all I have is a 15khz television.

    Does anyone know if you can, and how to put the MODEL 2C CRX w/ Sega Water Ski into 15khz mode?

    any information would be greatly appriciated.

    No you can't. Not without downscaling... and it would be cheaper to get a medium res monitor!

    i know the naomi MB has a dip to set it to 15k if needed, but i think Retro is right, there isnt the option to do this on Model 2

    Model1-3 can not be set to 15khz.

    Maybe check your monitor pcb to see if by chance it supports 24k. Like my capcom cab's monitor does both 15 & 24 but to change I have to move a wire from one set of pins to another.

    I would upscale it to 31khz. A converter costs something like $40
