I found a guy that does the upgrades. I paid to have this one moved up to the 2005 Complete with 26 courses. Same Price.

The cap kit for the KorTek arrived, we can get to work on the Golden Tee.

We acquired a compatible KorTek monitor, sold as working. We managed to install this beast and played Golden Tee.

After about 30 minutes the monitor started to wiggle. Ugh! Sold as working, but apparently not stable. Trying a cap kit next.

We used a standard resolution monitor and the standard resolution mode to get a picture from this game. It was not good. The boot sequence fails. We will make inquiries and get this thing fixed.

We sent the monitor out to get fixed, see what happens there.

I tried hooking up a VGA to the Golden Tee to see if it was plying blind. Apparently my spare VGA doesn’t speak CGA or EGA. Maybe my brother in law has an old clunker lying around.

Started Cleaning Golden Tee and received my cleaning bonus! Looks like 16 cents and ten pence.

New project, new era. We acquired this Golden Tee because the demand is still pretty high and the price was right. This one is not working. Monitor is busted and the board condition is unknown.

This is a post-2000 era game. Way out of my normal experience. I had to look inside! There is almost nothing I recognize. The power supply is an ATX, computer style, closed box with a fan mounted on it. I see a Hard Drive and a VGA card. I think my brother in law would know more about fixing this beast than I do.

It should be an interesting ride.
