WTB Atari Football Monitor

I would like to buy a monitor that will work on an Atari Football 1979
2 player game. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Rhett

You can wire in a colour monitor to replace a B&W BUT you need to
understand the difference. Also (of course) you need to make sure it
will fit first! And an isolation transformer. Then you choose which
colour will be which team and the background. Takes a bit of
fiddling....and you need to sort out the sync.

I wouldn't attempt it if I wasn't somewhat familiar with monitor wiring
and logic board theory. (I have done it with an Atari Sprint II and
that was fun!)
