Posting the ebay-Link for the 5" Display used in the picture above:

They are shipping directly from Singapore, takes a few weeks, but I'm very happy with the purchase. They have a number of small screens intended for cars and this one works great - runs on an original Apple DVI -> Video Adapter (Cinch Connection).

So awesome, thanks for sharing!  Been really wanting to do this.  Would you mind sharing how you mounted, any quirks to overcome, etc? 

Much Thanks

Marc, it looks like you put a cinema dimension screen in there?  Did it squeeze the SSL pic?

For anyone looking to do it on the cheap in the states you cannot beat this.  14 day return as well. 

I will probably go with the Peaking to replace the water damaged CRT in my SL6056 patient.  Gotta go through the vision quest of owning that 688 section first. . .

Very easy. Just mounted right in front of the existing VDU. The stand of the little thing comes with some adhesive. Self-explaining once you see it. Only thing left is to drill a whole for the cables (12V DC and Video In).

BTW, I don't currently have a working mix computer, this is connected as a second monitor to my Mac Pro, via DVI -> Video Adapter. The Display does 720p.

if you look around you may find the harness that's already there, circular connector with pins for 12V and composite video.

Hi

I know this is an old thread but just for future reference this is just a heads up before burning LCDs!

It is an 12vdc UNREG in the circular connector which might have up to 18vdc so you need to have a voltage regulator like an 7812 before since most 12v screens will died if they get 18vdc.

Cheers,
