What about connecting your monitors VGA cable to the VGA out on the PB4?

Does it work in a different cab? In other words, are you sure the PB4 isn't faulty?

Hi Mo
this didn't work on my NNC either via the VGA out on the PB4
it did work ok via the jamma connector which was plugged into a FrancoB adapter cable > Vga

Yes, Franco made some excellent cable looms that converted a JVS NNC to Jamma, No circuit boards or Lag just pure, even has a -5V option via Negatron
I think River Service also made a similar loom, the VGA cable from the NNC plugs into the loom via a VGA to RGB connector and the monitor works in 15k mode via the Jamma output

Franco does not make cables anymore :cry:

well, it sort of defeats the whole purpose of the pandora box 4 if you need to put extra effort for the picture to show. Does the monitor remote board allow you to toggle the polarity of the sync?
