I know the seller, he's a good guy, easy to deal with. He is planning to post on Facebook, maybe someone here can grab this rarity beforehand. Email him at [email protected] Its complete, original, not working, solid cabinet no moisture, he's thinking around 2K. Located in Maine, he can pack...

Thanks for the response. It is J4 on the connector board, that was a typo which I've corrected. Can I reflow solder first and if that helps leave the pins for now? Should that large ceramic resistor be so hot or could that be caused by the issues with J4?

I've had this TRON for awhile and was not working but finally got it playing nearly 100% other than the sound. I always hear the "thump" of the board booting when I power it on. Very faint speaker static always there. After investigating I've discovered that it is producing all the sounds. The...

Prefer a nice one and willing to pay market price but will consider any condition. I can pick up anywhere in the NE area from Maine to NY/PA. I am willing and can arrange shipping from anywhere else in the U.S. if price is right.

I've got a Sharp Image 727R-DS with a bad flyback. I can't find a replacement. According to my information I can use a CP-9064A or an E204699, have not been able to locate either model. Anyone know where I can buy either? I'm also willing to buy a replacement chassis if it at least has a...

Prefer Jungle King. Either way I want in a Taito cabinet. Prefer fully working and in nice condition but would also take a project if the cabinet is respectable. I'm willing to ship via freight if you can pack and pallet or I can pick up anywhere in New England, NY, NJ, PA, maybe further for the...

Good question, I'm not sure. I'd guess around $1,200 for a fully working one in decent condition?

Well that did not last long, its gone back to the crosshatch pattern. Makes it more likely that scuzee's theory of MCRs randomly working with no adapter is correct. When I push the reset switch it still just boots to the crosshatch. Both after turning the game on or if I hold it down while...

Can be fully restored working arcade game a project or anything in between as long as it's at least mostly complete. Willing to pay market price. Preferably in New England but I can pick up as far as Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,... I can also arrange freight shipping if you...

I figure he was testing the boards with the sound board disconnected per my request. Correct. After reconnecting the sound board cables, turned the game on and it booted normally. The only other thing I did beforehand was to adjust the +5 to 5.15 because I noticed it had dropped down to 4.95...

I've had a couple of those boards in 2 different cabinets. Both had similarly poor sounds which continued after replacing amp chips, caps, etc... Ditto on the speaker, small and cheap will work best.

Pic of board with replaced cables

I noticed that several wires in the loom going to the switcher appear to be cut and not connected? Though the game was working 100% this way until I tried to correct the very loud hum by replacing the four caps on the sound board.

It is not the dips, they are set correctly. The ribbon cables are not original, don't know if they are "madrits"? but whoever replaced them did a good job as far as I can tell. I will post a pic. I checked continuity on all of them and its all good. I tried booting with sound board disconnected...
