Thanks, this is very useful information.

I have a board for a SAMMY Trophy Hunter that came to me as part of a larger trade of parts. I had initially planned to sell it and the guns off at some point, but a boardless SAMMY Big Buck Hunter cab has turned up locally, and I think I can get it cheap. Anybody know if the SAMMY cabs and...

Zombie thread, but I was able to obtain one from The Pinball Resource.

IPDB usually lists prototypes and concepts if they existed. They have no listing for a Zelda machine.

There's a battery on the mini-pcb that has the actual game chips. This battery appears to be dead... could that be the source of my problems?

A bump for the morning crowd.

I am not an expert, but did you check the AX switch under the score motor?

My VGA adapter board arrived in the mail today, and I spent some time getting it wired up. I booted the game up and wiggled connectors a bunch of times. Most of the time, the board shows that there's "no signal". Several times it showed a green screen and nothing more. Once it showed a pink...

So do you have an update for us?

Do you have any electromechanical games? They make lots of ozone with the sparking of switches. I sometimes catch a whiff in my gameroom.

absolutely. Roll up a little sandpaper into a roll small enough to fit in the hole... twist it a couple of times, blow up the schmutz with canned air.

NO!!! The wire brush is fine for the male side (sandpaper would be better... NO steel wool!). The dremel will be too aggressive for the female side. Keep in mind that these are just bits of stamped sheet metal attached to 40 year old bakelite.

Is the jones plug crusty? Corroded? You really shouldn't need to reflow the solder, and it's probably nothing that a piece of sandpaper won't take care of. I always clean mine as preventative maintenance when setting up a new-to-me machine, but it's really not necessary in most cases. If you are...

As I told you on pinside, without a schematic, you're just guessing. You're more likely to break something else than you are to get your original problem fixed. I've never seen a Zaccaria Supersonic before, but ipdb has a schematic for a Moon Flight (a year earlier) that should help you...

Ended up buying the board from Holland Computers. Can you explain the 6 wire hookup for me? I see the 5 pin RGB and the 8 pin RGBS connectors. The board does not come with the 8 pin connector (it only includes the 5 pin). Anyone know of a source for the 8 pin?
