scuze the delay.

It depends on the manufacturer, but the jist is that unless you're a whiz
with a soldering gun, cracking open a consumer television will most likely
result in a broken television, and maybe a nasty electrical burn.

A little less risky (but still a significant undertaking) is to get a CGA
arcade monitor.  I've been driving one via a pc in my arcade cab for quite a
while now...and the pixels are nice and fat and round :).
