Ah, totally overkill at this stage, though.

My guess is that it's most likely all TV-rate signaling, and so there might 
be a way of just throwing a handful of resistors into a pot (etc.) and 
getting a (poor-quality, perhaps!) signal out the other end that I can just 
feed into one of the displays that I have here.

The JAMMA pinouts are readily available, so wiring for the controls isn't a 
problem - I'm just not finding anything that provides details about the 
video signal.

I've actually got some suitable edge connectors sitting in the junk pile (I 
don't have a 56-pin one, but a couple of butchered shorter ones 
side-by-side will do for testing).  The manual that I obtained with the 
board lists the DIP switch settings for free play mode, so I don't think I 
need to worry about simulating coin boxes either (although I think those 
are just TTL inputs, so a couple of debounced switches would do).

It came from an Aero Fighters cab - board says "IT-19-02" in the corner. 
I've no idea if it was a one-off for this game or if other games used the 
same board with different firmware.
