I guess the $89.00 doesn't sound too bad when you consider you get the vga cable, the 5v power supply, and a housing for it all.  Have you tried this particular model?

 I saw a board similar to yours for $33.00 plus $5.00 shipping on ebay.  I found a 5v 2amp power supply cord on ebay for 7.00 shipped. The male to female DB-15 cord for $6.00 shipped.  I'm  assuming any DB-15 cord will work. 

Either way, I would still need that female SCART to VGA cable that you have in your ebay auction.  Do you have another one for sale?

Well I don't know what you will be using on the system but I can make dedicated cables for most systems (console to VGA type plug with a 3.5mm stereo lead for the sound.) If you go for the SCART options the cables themselves will work out cheaper per cable but yes you need the SCART to VGA. I am waiting on some components (little plug that powers the sync stripper) but I'll be putting some of these on soon. I have all the other parts though.

Other bonus with the VGA boxes is you can add scanlines to them. It works with any VGA out. This is a later consideration I guess but you can buy a little box that adds scanlines, or build one. Details are here http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/console/other/vga-scanlines.htm - I'm hoping to add the simpler version to my store, I don't want to copy arcadeforge's design. They also do a sync stripper but it does no better job than the one I sell.

Right now I just have the SCART cable that came with my Duo-R that I bought from Doujin-Dance  off ebay.  It looks like a male plug on the end of it.

I'd be interested in a dedicated cable if you make them.  I just want to get this Duo-R plugged into flat panel TV and see the quality of RGB verses composite cables first hand.

So with your new cable, I would still need that board, correct?
