Also, they made a new model.The ultimate control box
COMBO AV EX+
Please read the « Extasy » as an old man’s gag.
(Note: I'm totally not sure about this one, I guess I miss context.)
A COMBO AV EX++ (ELF only) is also available.
(Note: here, イーエックスプラプラ is only the way it is meant to be pronounced, which is « E - X (spelled letters) pula pula (plus is purasu in Japanese, which is shortened into pura, pronounced pula with the l slitghtly r). ELF only means that the ++ is dedicated to work with ELF multiboards.)
This is a never seen before control box which not only support LCD monitor (VGA), but also video, S-video and professional 15KHz RGB monitors (HDMI output is optional).
Moreover, it does video and S-Video output with 24KHz boards and can be used as a source for 24KHz video and DVD recording.
Of course, a 3,5mm jack plug is present.
※ Video and S-video outputs' vertical and horizontal sizes can be adjusted.
You can also adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen.
If credits or highscore are not visible, you can fix it.
◆ Made with beautiful robust and durable stainless steel.
◆ The 2L-12B wide panel is carbon styled while the levers and buttons are made by Seimitsu.
◆ Panel is 50cm wide.
(It is the same as the likes of Street 2 or Aero)
(Note: here, they obviously refers to the Sega Aero City panel and to the Street Fighter II button layout.)
※ The interval between the 2 levers is optimized for the best Street Fighter II experience.
◆ The top panel portion can be easily opened and closed for an increased maintenance while the levers and buttons all use quick disconnect terminals, which allows for an easy adjustment and exchange.
◆ Equipped with a rapid-fire circuit (supports the 12 buttons)
Can be turned off to keep buttons to their normal usage.
Speed can be adjusted to six levels and each button can be activated or not.
◆ Volume adjustment and jack are present. (Can also be used for video recording.)
◆ From now on, supplied with an extended JAMMA harness (50cm)
A voltmeter (+5V displayed) will also be included.
◆ Please understand that as it is an handmade product, it has a prototype feeling on certains places.
◆ Separate power source for avoiding noise and ensuring a stable video output.
※ You can immediately play if you have a JAMMA board (buttons 4 and 5 are also supported).
XXXin1 and ELF boards can also be used after some rewiring.
If needed, a JAMMA⇔ELF switch can be installed.
※ It is also possible to use pre-JAMMA games if you create a conversion harness.
The game boards in the pictures are not included.
◆ You can immediately use it if you connect a JAMMA compatible game board.
(Gonbes’ latest version of the GBS-8220 is compatible with most boards, including Sega Model 2B).
The third picture of the listing confirms that it works.
(Note: I once again miss context, but I guess they refer to a picture showing a working Model 2B game.)
◆ Please refer to the picture for the internal and external appearance of the control box.
Some pictures may not be viewed correctly using a smartphone.
Please use a PC browser to read this page and easily check the pictures.
※ An HDMI converter with a 2-way cable included can be optionally purchased for ¥5.000.
◆ About the HD converter
It converts the arcade boards (15kHz, 24kHz) to PC monitor (VGA 31kHz)
HD converter is brand new (it is Gonbes' latest version GBS-8220)
Operating manual is included (explains in English and Japanese how to set up and adjust the picture)
※ If you still don’t understand how to use it or have questions, I will ensure e-mail support after a successful biding.

trev1976 bet me to it and yes, the translation is coming nicely. I am proof reading it and trying to organize it since there are four flavors involved, I want things to be neat and clear. ^^ Just a matter of hours.Paulie wrote:Brilliant find on the kics article, I've just sort of muddled my way through reading it, think I understood it, well most of it

Item details
First of it’s kind, equipped with HDMI and VGA high-quality output!
It is a control box that can play arcade games on consumer LCD TV (through HDMI) or on LCD PC monitor (through VGA)!
The HDMI picture is perfectly converted from VGA, so that the picture quality is the same!
(There is no deterioration of picture quality like when converting from video os S-video to HDMI.)
Since the HDMI and VGA are output simultaneously, it is possible to record the game without the need of a splitter.
It can also be connected to a legacy RGB monitor.
◆ The body is made of durable and beautiful stainless steel.
The moderate weight of the stainless allows for a stable play.
◆ The panel is carbon styled and the 2 levers and 12 buttons are all Seimitsu made.
◆ The panel is 50cm wide (it is the same as the likes of Street II or Aero). That means Sega Aero City and Street Fighter II panels.
※ The interval between the 2 levers is optimized for the best Street Fighter II experience.
◆ The top panel portion can be easily opened and closed, which makes maintenance a breeze~♪
The levers and buttons all use quick disconnect terminals, which allows for an easy exchange.
