Also, thats hardly "near mint" - there's chips everywhere. Why do they lie?

Being out of the game for several years, I'm shocked to see what's going up on ebay... 1500? WTF? What the hells happened to this war?? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Arcade-Space...%3A7%7C294%3A50

ive been gone for a while.. Noice got married? good for you, buddy

Back about 6 years ago, I came home and went to the basement to find a little boy and girl playing my Star Hawk game. They were my wife's friend's kids, and my game was acting as a babysitter. After they had left, closer inspection of the machine led me to find sticky vanilla ice cream in the...

Hello friends, A while ago I sold off my entire collection, thinking I would never look back. Recently, my thumbs have been itching and I've started looking to rebuild a collection. I was surprised to see the lack of games on ebay, et. al., and whatever games are available, the prices seem to...

Nice.. Don't you just love when that happens? Anyway, congratulations on your score.

hi, i recently picked up a cinematronics starhawk and having major trouble with the video.. i've never worked on a vector video before, so its new to me. problem: video display has bright white dot in middle, with faint verticle line from top to bottom splitting the center of the screen.. i...

Hi - when I short J4-21 on a satans hollow midway board, the coin meter should increment. problem is, it doesn't .. i've traced it, and i can't seem to find the problem. Now, I have a problem with the roms, but usually coin meters don't need rom's to work, the TTL logic is built right on the...

Hi -- I normally wouldn't do this, but I am desperate. I recently bought a Satan's hollow, and while fixing a bridge between the rom set, a couple of the rom legs broke off. it's broken right at the chip edge. i cant get a connection to even dump the ROM. SO.... I was hoping someone here had a...

ken, i posted this before.. i got a cyclone with the 100k bonus that wont fire and the "6" light on the wheel on the playfield flashes constantly.. cant find anyinfo on these two probs..any ideas?

popeye?

okie dokie... have you tried what Ken suggested with the cleaning and the diode polarity? if not, that's definately the first step... if still no go, u got a logic probe? u want to make sure the voltage is accurate to generate the proper voltage pulse that tells it to advance the score...

hi op, i got a cyclone and i cant figure out why the 100K will not light.. i've spent hours analysing this.. ive fixed hundreds of pins and this one is baffling me.. ive checked the obvious.. sometimes it helps to have someone give a suggestion not connected with the project.. any idea?

disconnect one of the wires from the target.. take your logic probe and connect to the loose wire and to the other target wire... if your probe pulses you have a component problem.. trace back to the board.. repeat the test all the way including and past the driver to the chip pinout.. you can...

i agree with ken. also, you may want to check the right flipper selenoid.. you'll see a diode connecting from pin 3(+) to pin 2 (-) .. make sure it's not blown..
